In a word: phenomenal. Fireborn is vivid, daring,and epic in every sense. It’s impossible to read thisbook and not hold your breath’ Carlie Sarosiak, author of I, CosmoTwelve gave up her name and identity to train in the art of hunting them—so she says. The truth is much more deadly: she trains to take revenge on those who took her family from her. The cover and the title of this book drew me in straight away, it’s just the kind of thing I like. It’s quite a chunky book, but it’s broken into chapters so you can easily read a section at a time. The only problem is, I just kept thinking ‘one more chapter’ and then before you know it you’ve read loads!
