Fireborn: Phoenix and the Frost Palace

Product Information

En ten derde had ik in het begin het idee dat dit boek er weer zo een was dat voornamelijk bedoeld was om Feniks haar krachten eigen te laten maken, wat zoals te verwachten was nu niet bijzonder spannend was. Twelve has chosen a Hunter name to reflect her elemental powers: Phoenix. When she and her friends learn that the witch-palace of Icegaard is in grave danger, they must battle frightening new monsters and find a way to defeat the evil force. De cover is weer heel knap gedaan, net als de tekeningen binnenin. Alles is weer van de hand van Sophie Medvedeva en wat vooral opvalt is de tegenstelling met Boek 1. Daar waren alle tekeningen erg donker door het bos, hier is juist alles erg licht door het ijs. Bij de cover is het alleen jammer dat de naam ' Aisling Fowler' juist recht over die golf van het paleis staat, waardoor ze niet goed zichtbaar is. Maar goed. Details. Het is slechts drie maanden nadat het Jagersfort (de plek waar Feniks en haar vrienden voor getraind zijn om het fort te beschermen) verwoest is. Een heks van het ijspaleis uit IJsgaard schakelt de hulp van Feniks en haar vrienden in, het verkeert namelijk in groot gevaar en wordt belaagd door een kwaadaardige grootmacht: de Schaduwwerper. It's wonderful in every way. The friendship at the core of these adventures is the best. I love their humour, how they grow together and support each other. Six is my personal favourite :3

Ein richtiges Happy End gibt es nicht, was umso neugieriger auf Teil 3 macht. Der ist aber leider noch nicht erschienen. I wouldn't say it's better than the first one, and that's because the first one was fabulous. But it's definitely not worse. They're both equally as well crafted and developed, humorous, heartfelt, fantasy stories, perfect for children and adults alike. This book just gave Aisling a chance to further develop the world and characters she has created. This sequel blazes even brighter than Fowler’s debut. The Fireborn trilogy is sure to be one of those rare fantasy series that captures hearts and imaginations for years to come’ A. F. Steadman The witches of Frost Palace have not been heard from in a long, long time and are more of a myth when suddenly Nara and her ice eagle, Chiara, show up to ask the Hunter clan for a favor. They need Phoenix to return to Frost Palace to help save them from Shadowseam, an evil force that arrived long ago and has caused death and destruction among the witch clan. Elder Hoarfrost sends Phoenix, Six, Seven and Five to Frost Palace with Nara. Dog is sent on a secret mission to find Victory and Morgren, their enemies. At Frost Palace, Phoenix is paralyzed by her fear of failure and Dog is endangered by the waters of the Clasp. Dieser zweite Teil steht dem Ersten in nichts nach. Wir brechen, gemeinsam mit den ehemaligen Jagdlingen, zu einem Abenteuer bei den Hexen im Frostpalast auf, und lernen so die Welt von Embra noch besser kennen.The perfect balance of high adventure, breathless action and eerie wonder’Jonathan Stroud, author of the Bartimaeus Series Die Figuren finde ich sehr gelungen, besonders fünf und sechs, sie sind lustig! Aber auch Phoenix ist hier umgänglicher! Feniks en het ijspaleis is een aanrader voor kinderen die graag verhalen lezen die zich in een andere wereld afspelen met bijzondere wezens of krachten. De snelheid van het verhaal en de opbouw van de wereld vragen wel wat meer leeservaring. Hoewel het zeker geen slecht verhaal is en wel degelijk vermakelijk, is dit fantasy verhaal niet uniek ten opzichte van andere jeugd fantasyboeken. Nach wie vor ein bisschen genervt hat mich, dass Seven (die nach wie vor eine Außenseiterrolle hat) stottert und das weder thematisiert, noch erklärt wird und auch keinen Sinn für die Geschichte zu haben scheint.

The perfect balance of high adventure, breathless action and eerie wonder.” —Jonathan Stroud, New York Times bestselling author of the Bartimaeus Sequence What I wasn't necessarily expecting were the twists and turns in it. Some children or young adult books can be quite simplistic, focusing on a linear narrative that's easy to follow. But this really leans into the more developed story, where you're not always convinced you know the truth and I think that's great fun. An utterly compelling and wildly imaginative adventure! I loved it!” —Tamzin Merchant, author of The Hatmakers This book should come with a CANNOT BE PUT DOWN warning. Children are going to fall in love with this heart-stopping adventure, and I was with Twelve and Dog every thrilling step of the way.” —Jenny McLachlan, author of The Land of Roar

There's a lot more at stake with this one. Whereas the first was predominately focussed on the goings-on at the hunting lodge - with a little adventure - the repercussions of the dangers in the sequel spread much further than Phoenix or the others ever expected. A very underwhelming addition to a first book that I wholeheartedly loved. Ah, well. I guess this just wasn't for me. I'm still considering whether to continue with this series. There just wasn't the depth, the complexity, the darkness, or the action that I loved so much in the first book. I really miss the character dynamics that felt so fresh but now feel shoved out of the main focus of the plot. Still, Six and Five's friendship has my heart. A monster-filled adventure set in a wildly imaginative frozen world, with axe-wielding action scenes that’ll make your heart race! I couldn’t put it down.” —Annabel Steadman, New York Times bestselling author of Skandar and the Unicorn Thief Fireborn swept me away to a rich, vibrant world filled with bold characters and enthralling monsters. A fantastic debut.” —Joseph Elliott, author of The Good Hawk
