Fireborn by Aisling Fowler
4.0
Fireborn is a middle grade book that is set in a world of monsters. Twelve gave up her name and identity to train in the art of hunting them, but really she is seeking revenge on those who took her family from her. Twelve lives at the Hunting Lodge which is soon attacked by goblins and a fellow student is taken. Twelve finds herself on a journey to get Seven back and soon discovers more about herself.
Fireborn is set in a magical, well planned world full of terrible monsters. I found the world easy to picture while reading and the creatures described were absolutely horrible (In a good way...I seriously do not want to cross paths with a Deathspinner!). It was a fast paced story and it felt like Twelve faced one trial after another on her journey to get Seven back. I enjoyed Twelve's interactions with Five, Six and Dog (other characters on her journey) and felt they developed a familial relationship in the end.
In my opinion Fireborn is a strong start to this series and I am excited to see how this world and the characters develop. There is so much potential, especially with Twelve and Seven (sorry you will have to read it to find out what I mean). While it is a middle grade book the world is so well described that I feel like it would appeal to a wider audience. Overall it is a pretty quick read and there is extra fun of artwork throughout the story.
Thank you @harperkidsau for gifting me with a copy of this book.
