Review
The Hummingbird is a young adult fantasy novel and modern fairy tale adaptation and the final book in the Order of the Bell Trilogy. The story follows Enzo and his friends as they return to the New World (our world) for a final confrontation with Avoria. On arrival, they find New York trapped in a perpetual winter, with a massive citadel rising from the center of the city. They must fight their way to the fortress and ascend to the highest floor to defeat the evil queen and save all world’s from her tyranny.
The Hummingbird is a fun story full of fantastic peril. Enzo continues developing into a truly worthy leader. All characters involved, enemy and ally alike, are interesting individuals. Important decisions must be made, sacrifices performed, and fears must be conquered to defeat the evil queen in a truly epic finale.
Overall, The Hummingbird is an excellent story and a fantastic way to end the trilogy. Fans of fantasy and fairy tale adaptations will love this book and will be hoping to see Enzo and friends again.
About the Author
When Jacob Devlin was four years old, he would lounge around in Batman pajamas and make semi-autobiographical picture books about an adventurous python named Jake the Snake. Eventually, he traded his favorite blue crayon for a black pen, and he never put it down. When not reading or writing, Jacob loves geeking out at comic book conventions and blasting Italian pop rock music in his car. He does most of these things in southern Arizona.
