Michael Vey, Fall of Hades by Richard Paul Evans, a book review

Michael Vey, Fall of Hades by Richard Paul Evans is the sixth installment in the Michael Vey series that started with Prisoner of Cell 25. The seventh (and final?) part of the series will be available Fall 2017. My Mom, daughters, and I feel the same way: it can't come fast enough (at least for the book)!

My review of the first book in this series can be found HERE.

In this installment, Michael Vey and his team of electric youth and nonels are going after the Elgen in a big way… the way that will hurt most: stealing their money. Along the way they are going to attempt to save a fugitive and some prisoners. It's a fast paced, easy read. It is a good bit of fluffy reading with a few deeper thoughts folded in lightly.

As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saint myself, I particularly enjoyed the rib/joke someone made to Welch about being Mormon because he didn't drink alcohol. There were a couple other spots during which I smiled and one during which I laughed (one of the conversations about the youth as they traveled).

My twelve and ten year old daughters are allowed to read this part of Michael Vey's story. They love this series and enjoy it thoroughly. We recommend it highly!

Michael Vey, Storm of Lightening by Richard Paul Evans, a book review

Michael Vey, Storm of Lightening by Richard Paul Evans is the fifth installment in Vey's saga, which began with Michael Vey, Prisoner of Cell 25.

Most of the electroclan's families end up missing in process of this step in the story. The resistance, headed by The Voice, has been compromised. The Voice has gone into hiding so the electroclan doesn't have definitive leadership. Equally as damaging, the electroclan doesn't have access to the reliable information to which they had grown accustomed.

So the question is, will Michael Vey be able to lead them to resolve the problems facing them and defeat the Elgen? Is that even possible? Or will the world descend into a dictatorship with Hatch as the all powerful emperor?

My daughters and I enjoyed this installment in the series. My girls recommend it heartily for any reader. I still have reservations about young readers indulging in this book and series. However, I think mature children 10 years old and older would be able to understand and enjoy it without nightmares.

Michael Vey, Hunt for Jade Dragon by Richard Paul Evans, a book review

Michael Vey, Hunt for Jade Dragon by Richard Paul Evans continues the story begun in Michael Vey, Prisoner of Cell 25. This is the fourth installment of the series, which is forecast to end with the seventh book. (Out this past Fall 2017.)

Michael Vey is an electric human. His genes were messed with, along with a few others his age, when he was a baby. He is the most powerful of all the electric kids. Additionally, he has the widest array of abilities and new ones seem to appear regularly.

In this installment of Michael Vey's story, he and the electroclan (the other electric kids that work with Vey against Hatch and the electric kids who work for Hatch) are set to save a severely autistic child who may have information Hatch, Michael's primary nemesis, wants. Hatch captures the child early, so the electroclan must enter the den of the beast once again.

My girls and I really enjoyed this next step in the Michael Vey saga. My girls recommend it to anyone. I recommend it to any mature 10 year old and older to adult.

Michael Vey, Battle of the Ampere by Richard Paul Evans, a book review

Michael Vey, Battle of the Ampere by Richard Paul Evans continues Michael's story begun in Prisoner of Cell 25 and continued in Rise of the Elgen. In this, the third installment of Vey's story, all of his friends end up awaiting trial for their supposed terrorist activities which resulted as they succeeded in freeing Vey's mom.

Michael is sheltered by natives and hunted by the Elgen who have convinced the Peruvian army that he is a vile terrorist and has done the damage to their electric grid, which resulted in loss of life and electricity to many.

He must free his friends and somehow manage to stop Hatch, who has gained control of the Ampere, the ship that acts as the headquarters for the Elgen.

This book does a good job of keeping the reader in a state of tension, excitedly reading to find out how things are going to turn out for Michael. We were not disappointed. Unless, of course, wishing the story didn't end where it did is disappointed….

My daughters and I really enjoyed this book. We recommend it highly to any mature reader who is 10 years old and older.

Michael Vey, Rise of the Elgen by Richard Paul Evans, a book review

Michael Vey, Rise of the Elgen by Richard Paul Evans continues the story of Michael Vey, Prisoner of Cell 25. He is a kid with unusual abilities because his genetics were messed with… along with a few other kids his age. Michael Vey continues his effort to free his mother from the Elgen.

In so doing, he and his friends learn more about the Elgen's rise to power and their plan to 'restructure' the world. Along the way, Michael learns more about his electric powers, as do the others in the electroclan.

This is an interesting story. My daughters and I thoroughly enjoy it. The writing is very easy to read and it is a story in which it is all too easy to get lost (read: forget chores and just read all day). Thankfully it's not too long, so it's only one day down, rather than multiple.

My daughters and I recommend it to any 10 and older readers. It might be a little too intense for immature 10 year old and younger children, even if they are advanced readers.
