While not my favorite series of all time, I enjoyed the first two books of the Sutherlands' "Menagerie" series. They were lighthearted reads with a likable cast and fun twists on mythical creatures that made them unique but still appealing, and a welcome breath of fresh air when many YA fantasies seem to get darker with every book. Sure, these books ramped up the stakes for their characters, but they still remained fun and lighthearted, without resorting to constant death and calamity to keep the tension up. And seeing as "Dragon on Trial," the second book in the series, ended on a cliffhanger, I had to see how the story panned out."Krakens and Lies" concludes the trilogy (if it remains a trilogy -- this could easily end up an ongoing series) quite nicely, and while it's not without its elements of deus ex machina, it's still enjoyable."Krakens and Lies" picks up where "Dragon on Trial" left off -- with Logan uncovering a plot by the Sterlings, Xanadu's wealthiest family, to turn the Menagerie into an amusement park. With help from an eclectic assortment of friends -- Zoe, youngest daughter of the Menagerie's caretakers; Blue, the laid-back son of the leader of the Menagerie's mermaids; Marco, an enthusiastic were-rooster and Logan's friend from school; and Keiko, the snarky, arrogant kitsune -- Logan sets off to discover just how much the Sterling family knows in a plot that will include jackalope wrangling, an escaped basilisk, a confusing message from a kraken, and a plot to destroy the Menagerie from within. And all the while Logan has to wonder if his dad is behind the sabotage of the refuge... and if the Sterlings had a hand in the disappearance of his mother.
