I think my ARC was about 400 pages, but the book ended up feeling like a much faster read simply because it does not stop.Events certainly moved at rapid pace. There are sword fights, explosions and magic aplenty, not to mention a whole line-up of supernatural threats including goblins, chimera, and even a dragon. From here on out, it's a full tilt, no holds barred ride as Kit and her allies race from one place to another to find out what's going on. One night, she wakes up to a kerfluffle in the woods and finds herself rescuing Thorn, a prince of the fae, from a vicious group of redcaps.On the run from enemies out to capture the prince, the two of them escape to London where hopefully help can be found, since all of Kit's extended family seem to have mysteriously dropped out of contact. Upon returning from her first solo assignment, Kit is told to stay at Blackhart mansion to recover while her cousins head off on another mission, leaving her home alone. At first glance, Banished may seem like another relatively routine venture into the paranormal young adult genre, but you'll find this first book of Liz de Jager's new series will have a few surprises up its sleeve.Displaying shades of Buffy, the book follows teenager Katherine "Kit" Blackhart who hails from a family of monster hunters tasked to enforce the peace between our world and the supernatural realm called the Otherwhere.
