Mark of the Plague (The Blackthorn Key)

Mark of the Plague (The Blackthorn Key)

By Kevin Sands

I knew this would kill me but I went for it anyway. Why oh why do I do this to myself? Well.. it was SO worth it. The Mark of the Plague by Kevin Sands was wonderful. It had everything you need in a book, humor, action, and mystery. It’s about Christopher, an apothecary-in-progress, who is his own master. He is now in the middle of the ‘plague-age.’ He has to, now, use clues and hints left by his old master to figure out the cure for the plague, with a few obstacles on the way. This book was a definite yes for me. And I say this once again, Kevin Sands’ writing is P.E.R.F.E.C.T.I.O.N The entire plot, characters, and setting complement each other SO PERFECTLY. *Characters* Christopher was the absolute best. He is so smart and funny that you got to love him. He is such a caring and clever character that rarely makes it in Middle-grade novels. Tom was one of those ‘side-kick’ characters that aren’t really ‘side-kicks.’ The very fact that Tom is technically a side-kick doesn’t get acknowledged in the novel. Christopher, who is the main character, doesn’t treat Tom like just a person that wants to help. No. He treats Tom like his equal. Like a true friend. And that is beautiful. The friendship in this book is just..beautiful This book, This series, Kevin Sands, Are the ABSOLUTE best! So thank you for making me satisfied with such great writing and therefore killing me. Five stars from me!
