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

Product Information

She had steel in her that appealed to me, and as we got to know more about her and what she had lost and sacrificed she continued to grow on me and is absolutely my favourite. Wodurch sie Zeit hat sich in klaren zu werden wer sie sein will und was für eine Art Mensch sie gerne sein möchte. I read the blurb, then the first page and then the next thing I knew, I was 6 chapters in and already felt part of the story. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone to read, adults or children and is a perfect starting point to anyone wanting to get into the fantasy genre.

I’m sure I speak for many people when I say that I saw the cover for Fireborn and it was love at first sight. 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. since it’s a middle grade fantasy (for ages 9-12 i believe) i knew it would be a easy read and a good break from the usual stuff but i didn’t expect it to be just as good as it is.

Overall this was such an interesting read and I’m so glad I stuck with the book despite not liking Twelve’s angry character at first. 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. But when Twelve’s new home is attacked, she’ll find herself on an unexpected journey, where her hidden past is inescapably intertwined with her destiny–and the very fate of her world. After an argument with another student, Five, the pair are disciplined and taken to the dungeons to spend the night.

I was so invested in her as a character and loved the tentative building of friendship, trust and her gradual empowerment and belief that she can take a different path. On the other claw, however, vampires are bound by the Vampiric Laws: rules to protect the balance between the worlds of the Living and the Undead.Speaking of world-building, the world-building in this book is as strong as the character development. Twelve goes on a real journey here and though she starts off incredibly cold, arrogant, self serving and very morally grey the way that her character grows and develops throughout the book is amazing and I really enjoyed it. Doch sie begibt sich trotzdem auf die Suche nach Sieben, obwohl sie nicht mal richtige Freunde sind. These children go to the lodge for various reasons, a lot because they are unwanted/abandoned by their families and some because their families are sadly dead and they feel they have nowhere else to go. Twelve is complex, flawed,sometimes cruel, has aggressive outbursts and is completely socially incompetent, due to the fact that she cuts off those around her.

Now based in Hackney, when she is not reading or writing, Aisling loves cooking and plotting adventures (for herself as well as her fictional characters). I really liked this and loved learning about the different creatures, some of which I have never read of anything similar to before so it was all very imaginative and fun! The plot is perfectly paced with a satisfying balance of fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat action and character building and interaction.

And in all honesty, my demands from a good book are exactly the same as what they were when I was a kid. This takes her on an adventure of friendship, family, self-realization, danger and most importantly self-love!
