The Obernewtyn books are kind of like heroin. By the time you realize they're bad for you, you're so addicted that you can't stop.
I actually thought The Keeping Place was better than The Stone Key--The Stone Key was where it became entirely clear that any sense of realism was going to be sacrificed to prop up pacifism. Before, it was possible (if, admittedly, improbable) that the Misfits insistence on a bloodless rebellion would come back to bite them.
