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

Product Information

Er ist immer sehr aggressiv und wütend gegenüber Zwölf, aber wenn man hinter seine Maske blickt, erkennt man einen lustigen, wenn auch lebensmüden Jungen. Fowling has created a wonderful cast of characters, from the teachers and Elders at the Lodge, to those who join Twelve on her adventure.

The book is action-packed and had me turning the pages at warp speed trying to keep up with the fast-paced scenes. I’d heard such great things about this book from friends and on social media so I couldn’t wait to pick it up and read it. When the walls of the Hunting Lodge are breached and Seven is taken, Twelve embarks on a quest to rescue her. Fireborn is a fantastic read, exciting and gripping from start to finish, and I would recommend it to everyone regardless of their age. The myriad of dark creatures were breath-taking, and scary, from the cliffcrawlers to the Ygrex to the deathspinner.From brash, confident Five to shy, dreamy Seven, cantankerous Elder Hoarfrost, and even Twelve’s pet squirrel Widge, I came to feel like I knew – and cared about – all of them, and I loved watching their relationships with both Twelve and with each other develop. With a love of books, videogames, animals, art and of course Strawberries there's always something on my mind I just love to discuss.

The Hunter's Lodge train fighter and people who honour their sacred pledge to serving all seven clans equally, to protect the people of said clans from the darkness and tyranny of the wild (mostly magical creatures that are rising again after the dark war - as always humans are the most terrifying of the creatures). Pick this up if you are a fan of epic middle-grade fantasies such as Percy Jackson becasue I think that this world holds the possibility to reach those heights. She has given up her name to train in the art of fighting monsters, and she won’t choose a new one until she has earned it.The adventure has you on the edge of your seat right until the very end, when the tension is cracked up to 300. So mussten die Protagonisten neben ihrem Abenteuer auch Wege finden, sich zusammenzuraufen und lernen, sich gegenseitig zu vertrauen. There was one twist that I did not see coming, involving a character that I was liking and boy was I wrong.

This was a fanatic book, a tad slow in the start but once we got into the tick of it, it nonstop action.Full of frozen forests, mortifying monsters and fierce friends, this story is perfect for children who are hungry for an adventure.

Beim Lesen der letzten Seiten war ich sehr gespannt auf die Auflösung des Rätsels und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. At times it sends genuine tingles down your spine, as each creature they meet is deliciously darker and more terrifying than the last. Twelve is joined on her quest by Dog, the stone guardian of the Lodge, and Five and Six – two male students from the Lodge.It was well written with some great figurative language that I could appreciate and discuss with my 9 year old. These are locations that again are well described and detailed to the point where I could richly imagine the mountains and atmospheric forest with all its dangers. She ends up on her quest with Five and Six, two boys from the lodge and also the Lodge Guardian, Dog.
