Oh my god I am hooked. I cannot wait until I can grab the book off the store's shelves and just read it until I finish.

After reading just two chapters I want to read all the book, I think it will be one of my favorite books of 2020

it was an interesting small piece, i didn't know that this was just a small piece/ some chapters. So that was sad. But i really liked the small piece i got to read :)

I was given a two chapter excerpt of this book to read and let me begin by saying that the authors attention to detail is incredible. In just those two chapters the world she has built already feels tangible and I already feel the beginnings of an attachment to the main character Maddie. From what I have read so far the book if fast paced and hard to put down. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the book and reviewing it in it's entirety.

First: look at that cover! That would look fine on any shelf. I'm in love.
Secondly: Those two chapters in the sampler were enough to make me want to read this ASAP. I want a good magical book and I think this might be it.

This cover is gorgeous! After reading the first two chapters of "Havenfall," I can officially say that I'm hooked to the storyline. I love the darkness and mystery surrounding the town of Haven. Sara Holland does a fantastic job of crafting a new and unique world. I'm really loving Taya's character and her snarky comments. I can't wait to read the whole thing; I'm sure this book will exceed my expectations!

Thank you, NetGalley, Bloomsbury YA, and Sara Holland, for allowing me to read this extract in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

For Starters the cover of this novel is beautiful.

I was really excited when I saw that Sarah Holland had a new novel coming out because I loved her first two (and she herself is so sweet and I was lucky enough to meet her in 2018). My only bummer about this was that I only received part of the novel because I want to know what else happens! Even with it only being a few chapters I was still sucked into Maddie's story and I don't think I can wait another two months to see what else happens. Fingers crossed I get approved for the full novel!

First of all, this book has a wonderful cover. It's gorgeous, mysterious and it already tells a story on it's own. These first two chapters of Havenfall are really promising. Even though it’s still a little vague and it’s not really clear what’s going to happen and what the story will turn into, the mystery about Havenfall is already there. Maddie hasn’t given away too much information, but just enough to keep us wondering about more. There is a lot of information, but it’s not quite clear where it’ll lead to. I really like to unravel the secrets and the magic from Havenfall.

The cover is beautiful and mysterious, this is what initially drew me in. To be completely honest I hate that this is only an extract. After reading just the first few chapters, I feel like I HAVE to know what happens next. The MC is introduced very well. The look into her backstory gets a reader to want to know more. The mystery needs to be solved. I am excited to see her interactions with her Uncle as well as Brekken. The beginning was so well written that I found myself trying to refresh the book in hopes the rest of the book would magically appear. Now I feel like I need some Havenfall magic to get the rest of the book. This will be on my list of highly anticipated reads for 2020. WAY TO GO SARA HOLLAND!

The extract is good, but it's a very small part of the book, so I don't think I have enough of opinion on this

I don't know why I read this because now I'm sitting here tapping my foot wondering how on Earth I can get my hands on the entire thing. Holland delivers again in the best way and this blurb was hardly fair. I am excited to see the characters grow and develop.

These preview chapters provide a good idea of the tone and plot of the book. So far Maddie seems like a good lead character and one with a story worth continuing to read about. I'm definitely intrigued enough to put this on my reading list for 2020.

This is just the extract, but from what I've read it has a strong beginning that sets up the world and the main character(s). It gives enough backstory and mystery that I'm definitely going to pick this up when it is released. From what I can see, I like the writing as well. Easy to follow and comprehend.

This gorgeous cover is what initially drew me in, but the story definitely did not disappoint. After only reading the couple of chapters, I am in love with the world building, atmosphere and magical feel of Havenfall. This short sample wasn't enough for me to fall in love with the characters- but I can already tell I am going to adore Brekken. Overall, I am so much more excited for this title now and can't wait to read the full thing!

This was an extract from the book & not the complete ARC of the book. It contained the prologue & the 1st chapter. The start of the book is so interesting & mysterious that I was left feeling so so intrigued & now I desperately want to read what happens ahead.

Exciting, can't wait to read the full story. I loved her duology, Everless and can't wait to get stuck into this one.

So the publisher provided 2 chapters from this book. The first few pages were really confusing, and I just couldn't understand what was going on in the story. The story started making sense after 40% and then I understood that Haven was this crossroad between magical realms. It existed on Earth only but it was a place very few visited and those who did forgot about it, when they left the town, natives/locals of the town were exceptions.. so ya I kind of liked the idea of Haven and I was interested in reading about it. It kind of was a place that Maddie used to escape from her "dad and his wife" . If the story develops some magical element where the main protaganist gets to interact with magic herself would be great.

From what I could get from the relations of Maddie was that, she missed her mother and brother. Her dad re-married and no more wanted to take responsibility of his daughter actively, and even judged her for what he thought of Maddie's biological mother. Even her uncle whom she called at Haven to pick her up, seemed to not really care about her? The bus driver cared more for sure.

First few chapters had me hooked! Will definitely look out for it when released. These chapters were more about place setting and introductions but they already had me wanting to read more.

This short excerpt of two chapters was very intriguing. I cannot wait to dive into the complete book. The writing style is very interesting and easy to read. The mysteries are just asking to be solved when the whole book is released!

I received a copy of the first 2 chapters of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I've never written a review for an excerpt before, so bear with me on this. This book takes place in our world, except there's a town somewhere in Colorado that's full of magic, and our main character is the only human who can come and go from this town as she chooses. Most of the 2 chapters were world building, but something felt a bit off with the descriptions. The way the mc sounds is so informal it comes off a bit clumsy. The story itself sounds interesting, and I will probably still pick it up when it comes out.
