About this deal

The last thing I’ll cover off in my review is that HUGE twist/revelation toward the end. I will not go into the details of what it was obviously but I will say that I think it was very, very well done. It honestly left my jaw on the floor and my heart a little bit broken by the way the truth was forced to come out. hours ago Slash Ft. Myles Kennedy and The Conspirators Announce Australian Dates for ‘The River Is Rising-Rest of the World Tour 2024’ This remarkable debut pulsates with energy and drama' Daily Mail, Best Children's Books of the Year When we’re first introduced to Twelve, she appears to be quite the misfit with a self-centred personality. But under the surface, she’s broken. As the story unfolds, through dreams and memories we get to witness Twelve’s character evolution – from the past that shaped her to the person she’s grown to be. Twelve is strong and resilient, while also raw and realistic ­– qualities that any reader can be inspired by.

I really liked the way the author slowly explored her past through dreams and memories throughout the book. It helped a lot to understand what had happened to her and why she acts the way that she does.Thanks so much for your lovely message and for everything that you do with Book Wagon. Yourself and Bob are much cherished in our booky world and I personally really appreciate everything that you do. It's strange actually because I don't remember ever deciding to write fantasy in the same way I don't remember deciding I'd write middle-grade rather than YA or for adults. Both just felt like a natural fit. I did love reading fantasy as a child and when I think about what my absolute favourites were, they do tend to have magic in them. That must have stayed with me and slipped into my own writing. This is really hard as I love all my supporting characters! If you pushed me, it would probably be Widge or Dog though. My favourite magical character would be a particular monster that Twelve meets. I won't say any more as I don't want to give away any spoilers though . . . An utterly compelling and wildly imaginative adventure! I loved it!” —Tamzin Merchant, author of The Hatmakers The perfect balance of high adventure, breathless action and eerie wonder’ Jonathan Stroud, author of the Bartimaeus trilogy

The world-building is truly amazing. It’s so perfectly created that it was easy to visualise. The banter between the characters had me smirking, even if they talk like people from the modern era, it is a fantasy world after all! Aisling Fowler wishes that she’d grown up in a magical, mountainous kingdom, but was actually raised on a diet of books and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Set in the snowy northern forests of an imagined prehistoric world, Fireborn is Fowler’s middle-grade debut.

Home > 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 On top of that. The side characters of Five, Six, and Seven are amazing too. Especially Five! I have to say that I liked him loads. He is annoying, he is a loud mouth and is insensitive to most things around him, but I did enjoy his arc.

Twelve is at the Hunters Lodge, her family, her village have been all murdered and destroyed. So having no where else to go she ends up there. At the Hunters Lodge you are trained form young huntlings to full on hunters, who help all the clans in fighting monsters and other creatures. The catch with the this group is that you are to leave your past behind, who you were, your family, your feuds, your name. And after you finally have your blooding you become a full hunter and chose your own name.
