Fireborn: Twelve and the Frozen Forest: The extraordinary first book in the thrilling new children’s fantasy series: Book 1

Product Information

The only problem is, I just kept thinking ‘one more chapter’ and then before you know it you’ve read loads! The world of Fireborn was fantastical, full of creatures to fear, smell bad and also those who absolutely captured my imagination with their good sides (looking at dog here). Some of the things that he said in response to them had me cracking up, and his personality and attitude bleed through every moment (and I would argue that there are times when he comes close to stealing the show).

De illustraties in het boek zijn een hele mooie weergave en het verhaal zelf is zeker ook wel de moeite waard om te lezen.

I receive a very small percentage from each item you purchase via these links, which is at no extra cost to you. And the ending was so incredible and tension-filled, which meant that all the reveals and everything that went down had me on the edge of my seat. These creatures are the dominant focus of the world-building, with some familiar, and some truly unique creations, and I love how Fowler gives us information about them through descriptions taken from the bestiary used by our main character Twelve. I love reading children's books, talking to them about books, engaging them in reading for pleasure and recommending books to them. Zusammengefasst freue ich mich schon sehr auf den zweiten Teil und bin ein riesengroßer Fan dieses tollen Auftaktes der Feuerblut Reihe.

We have animal companions, in the form of ‘Dog’ the stone guardian of the Hunting Lodge who is let loose as events happen in the book.Er ist immer sehr aggressiv und wütend gegenüber Zwölf, aber wenn man hinter seine Maske blickt, erkennt man einen lustigen, wenn auch lebensmüden Jungen. The book is about a 13 year old girl who has been at the Hunters Lodge for a few years now training to be a Hunter with the other huntlings about her age.

The hunters and huntlings of the lodge are like family and honour their pledge to protect each other as well as every person of the varying clans of Ember from the dark creatures that lurk out in the wild. This novel is a mixed bag of terrifying creatures, two annoying but always hilarious characters and out-of-the-blue betrayal. When Twelve discovers that the trolls have taken Seven, she and her friend squirrel (a present from Seven) set off on a terrifying adventure. I could never be bored reading Fireborn as there is adventure after adventure – there is always something happening. Twelve who seems to have finally found a 'friend' in Seven decides to go after the Goblins and get her friend back.With the aid of the Lodge’s guardian Dog and two of her fellow huntlings, Twelve will soon have to make a choice between isolation and friendship – and learn to contend with her own hidden and wildly dangerous powers. So mussten die Protagonisten neben ihrem Abenteuer auch Wege finden, sich zusammenzuraufen und lernen, sich gegenseitig zu vertrauen. Some middle grades straddle that line of young and older alike, this one felt like the age it's intended for and there's nothing wrong with that.
