Beyond the Valley of Thorns is the second book in Patrick Carman's trilogy of novels, The Land of Elyon.[1] [2] [3][4][5]
Reception
Kirkus Reviews wrote "The plot takes off a lot faster than in the first installment, because Carman integrates the backstory as needed in the text, rather than allowing it to slow down the pace. Although the resolution of this tale satisfies, it ends on a cliffhanger, leaving readers to wait in suspense for the story’s finale. Still, a trip with Alexa Daley through the Valley of Thorns is well worth the effort."[6]
