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. I loved that we were kept guessing for so long, but with so many beasties to battle along the way you don't have too much time to sit and decipher exactly what's going on. When Seven another of the Huntlings go missing during a training session the race is on to find her. Just wondered, did anyone else notice that the cave clan is not on the map of Ember at the front of the book. Fowling has created a wonderful cast of characters, from the teachers and Elders at the Lodge, to those who join Twelve on her adventure.

The novel was brilliant, and the ending was like a cliff-hanger, which makes me hope there will be sequel to this mysterious story.

Yes, you can’t judge a book by its cover – but you can judge a cover, and Fireborn has a stunning cover that promises magic and adventure. As she starts to track the missing girl and her captors, Twelve finds herself joined on her quest by the Lodge’s stone Guardian, Dog and two other huntlings, Five and Six.

Despite this being a middle grade novel, it was definitely quite dark and mature with it’s themes and I did like this element! 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.

She is fierce and strong, though she is also sometimes a bit impulsive, which gets her into trouble.

Suddenly she is thrown into a daring and dangerous advenure full of frozen forests, mortifying monsters and fierce friends. Determined to save her, Twelve teams up with Dog; a stone guardian and one of the only people who seem interested. They're all richly developed and interesting characters, and I thought they all worked together well. I also really enjoyed the glimpse into the history of Ember, and the fractious nature of clan relations, which feels like the world is being drawn back into an era of turmoil and unrest.

Was mir auch noch sehr gefallen hat war die Welt, in der sie leben, diese wurde in allen Einzelheiten dargestellt und ich hatte das Gefühl ich wäre direkt auf ihrer Reise dabei. Darum macht sie sich alleine auf den Weg, um Sieben zu befreien, aber sie ist nicht die einzige und aus drei kleinen Suchmissionen wird eine ungleiche Gruppe. With the help of some surprising friends, can Twelve rescue her friend from the monsters before it’s too late?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. The glimpses into Twelve’s past are heart-breaking and emphasise her anger and pain and why she is punishing herself.

Twelve has given up her birth name and pledged allegiance to the Hunting Lodge where she is in training to become a Hunter – dedicated to protecting the clans and keeping the peace. I’m hoping that Fireborn is the first in a series as Twelve and her friends are definitely characters I want to spend more time with. Sie ist zielstrebig und distanziert, und obwohl sie keine Jägerin werden möchte, hat sie Vorbilder, deren Meinungen ihr wichtig sind und die sie eigentlich gern stolz machen würde. With only a stone guardian dog and her rival huntlings for company, can Twelve find Seven before it's too late? Nur zusammen können sie ihre Freunde befreien und das Böse bekämpfen, doch schaffen sie es zusammenzuhalten.However, when ogres, goblins and much more manage to find a way into the lodge and take one if the huntlings in Twelve’s class, she seizes her chance to prove herself and save Seven with her pet squirrel, Widge. This book doesn’t even give you a chance to breathe, lands a punch right from the start and throws you in an epic adventure a few pages in.
