Mit der Zeit wurde es immer spannender, auch wenn einige Details mich nicht ganz überzeugen konnten. Er ist immer sehr aggressiv und wütend gegenüber Zwölf, aber wenn man hinter seine Maske blickt, erkennt man einen lustigen, wenn auch lebensmüden Jungen. I know my younger self would have found solace in this story, while I loved it and enjoyed every single part of this story, and I think Fireborn would be an excellent stepping stone for anyone wanting to step into fantasy.

A brilliant first novel and I look forward to finding out what comes next for the gang, when we may or may not need to get used to some new names! I also loved the monsters and the goblins becasue they were written very well and were suitably evil, which means that they posed a great challenge to Twelve and the hunters. I felt mainly that I was on the outside looking in rather than being immersed in it, but having said that, I'm excited to see where the story goes in the future and what the rest of the world has to offer. Beim Lesen der letzten Seiten war ich sehr gespannt auf die Auflösung des Rätsels und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht.

She has given up her name to train in the art of fighting monsters and keeping the peace, and she won't get to choose a new one until she has earned it.

Fireborn is a middle-grade story with a heart and soul that will appeal to readers of all ages because its themes are those that will resonate regardless of your age. The catch with the this group is that you are to leave your past behind, who you were, your family, your feuds, your name. Twelve is a huntling at the Hunter’s Lodge where she is training to become strong enough to fight the dark creatures that exist in Ember while vowing to protect the different clans that exist.Absolutely crammed full of magic and monsters, this was a wonderful read and just perfect for any middle grade readers who enjoy a tale of mythical beasts and terrifying adventures. Set in an imagined prehistoric world, Fireborn is the middle-grade series that has everything you could wish for: it's exciting, funny and at times a little sad.

Fully trained hunters are there to protect all the clans from the dangerous but magical creatures also living in the land. 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. 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.Darkness seemed determined to dog our protagonist throughout these pages but she proved she had a plucky personality and a brave heart by overcoming all, even, eventually, her own demons. You also do not find out or even suspect who the real villain is in the story until the end and I never even suspected it so that was a brilliant surprise! A resolute and surly dog who often despairs are being lumbered with children who hinder his progress, he's also the voice of reason and calm. The plot is perfectly paced with a satisfying balance of fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat action and character building and interaction.
