Five Kingdoms: Sky Raiders
Five Kingdoms: Sky Raiders | Brandon Mull
12 posts | 23 read | 1 reading | 9 to read
Cole Randolph was just trying to have a fun time with his friends on Halloween (and maybe get to know Jenna Hunt a little better). But when he and his friends break into a spooky house with the scariest rep in town, it turns out to be the start of an adventure on a whole different level! As his friends are mysteriously sucked away into another realm, Cole dives in after them and finds himself in a magical place called The Outskirts. Made up of five kingdoms, The Outskirts lie between wakefulness and dreaming, reality and imagination, between life and death. It's an in-between place. And once you find your way to the Outskirts, it's very hard to leave

If you like books that demonstrate themes of friendship, loyalty and how creativity is power, Sky Raiders is for you. It follows the story of young Cole Randolph as his friends are kidnapped into another land called the Outskirts. Cole decides to follow his friends and their captors down a hole. When he arrives in the other world, he sees his friends being pulled away in cages on wheels. He follows them but is soon captured and receives a bond

Nicolas Galatonov mark, showing everyone he is a slave. He is quickly sold to an old man who takes him to the Sky Raiders base. He meets Jace, a confident but cocky boy; Mira, a nice and friendly girl and Twitch, a quiet skinny boy. They show him around and tell him he is a scout so he is brought onto the floating islands with castles and has to decide whether they have any items worth grabbing or if it is too dangerous to loot. On a mission, Mira and her shaping 3y
Nicolas Galatonov teacher join the looting team. Shaping is a power that people have in this kingdom that allows them to mold matter into items that can do a lot of things. Some people are more gifted with it while others aren't. They think Cole has defused the island but then a few monsters come out and attack. Cole risks his life to save Mira. They manage to kill the monsters but not before Mira's teacher is mortally wounded. Everyone else on the ships have to 3y
Nicolas Galatonov escape because the castle's crossbow's are attacking them. They go down bellow the castle and extract a few stones that keep the castle afloat and use them to shape a tiny flying vessel. They load it with jewels and treasures to bring back. Before they set off, Mira's teacher reveals that Mira isn't actually a slave but a princess who's powers were taken by her dad, the High Shaper(king). They were in hiding but needed to escape soon because the 3y

Nicolas Galatonov High Shaper got word of their location. They barely get back to the base on the vessel. The next morning, a man named Joe shows up. He says an army of legionnaires are approaching. When they show up, they say they need to buy a certain slave. Cole makes a scene and escapes with Mira to the port. Jace, Twitch and Joe follow them. They take a flying vessel and escape.

Nicolas Galatonov friends find an old strong shaper named Declan. Him and his colleagues gives them items to help them stay away from the legionnaires. He also tells them that Mira's power is slipping away from the High Shaper and that it is taking form somewhere in the Kingdom. He tells the group to seek out Berta who will help them. They go all the way to Berta and she tells them that a monster named Carnag has been wreaking havoc in villages and that Carnag is 3y
Nicolas Galatonov probably the form that Mira's shaping took. They seek out Carnag and start to fight it. Carnag is a giant made of dirt, rock, houses and any other matter that it could get its hands on. Carnag shapes the ground around them to try to trap or hurt them but the group holds out. They are finally captured by Carnag and put into cages that she molded into her body. They use shaping to make their way into the center of Carnag and find a woman there 3y
Nicolas Galatonov “guiding“ Carnag. Carnag wants what is best for itself and thinks the woman is helping her but in reality shes's just helping herself. They fight them on the inside and finally defeat Carnag. They then discover that Mira's sister is in danger in the next Kingdom so they set course there. The point of view is third person limited. We know this because the narrator follows Cole and refers to him by his name. We also sometimes get a view at Cole's 3y
Nicolas Galatonov emotions and what he is thinking in that moment. Usually we just follow Cole and get to see what is going on though. 3y
MissYaremcio Thank you for the review Nic! This looks like an interesting book! 6/6 3y

Mehso-so

I was bored and needing a book over the break so my brother suggested this series. I have read some of Brandon Mulls books before (Fablehaven) so I thought I‘d give it a go. It is SO much fantasy. I don‘t mean that‘s a bad thing, just a little much at times. It exceeded my expectations and I‘m already reading the second book, onto the journey!

This month has been one of the worst of the year so far. So naturally I got some books to help my stress 😅 I‘ve really been enjoying Middle Grade lately so I picked up some new ones and some continuations of series I already have. Middle Grade fantasy just feels like a hug. So now I‘m going to curl up, paw through my new books and watch the great British baking show because it makes me happy.

RainyDayReading @ChasingOm Not yet, I did just recently get the first book though. I‘m repairing the bookcase that it lived on so it‘s currently buried in a pile on the floor 🙈 4y
ChasingOm Haha, when you get around to it I think you‘ll really enjoy it! 4y

Brandon Mull lives with an hour or so of the Library branch I work at, and he came to our Baker and Taylor event. I had him sign a copy of his first Five Kingdoms book for my daughter. He was funny and geeky.

Seekingtardis My son LOVES him! Yay! 7y
StaceyKondla ❤️❤️ He is a fantastic speaker and so great with his fans of all ages! 7y
