Aisling Fowler: Fireborn – Phoenix and the Frost Palace (HarperCollins 2023)
Many thanks to Maxim Könyvkiadó for sending me the book!
The Hunters left behind their names, their families and their entire lives to protect the clans. Twelve also has a new name: Phoenix, which she chose because of her magical ability. Her friends, Five, Six and Seven, went with her, when the Hunting Lodge was destroyed. But now they have a new task. Their old enemies are active again, but something much more dangerous has set in motion, which threatens the entire Ember. They can only trust Phoenix.
In this volume, we get to know the characters much better, who are lovable each and every one of them. However, the world they live in does not spare them. Danger lurks everywhere and they can only count on each other. The main point of the story for me is that we should trust those who really matter to us and stick with them. However, this does not save our characters from the unexpected turn that their fate (and their writer) had planned for them.
Aisling Fowler herself wanted to grow up in a magical kingdom like her characters, but instead she grew up in Surrey and read a lot. She graduated in biology and then worked as a social worker and nurse before she started writing. The final volume of the Fireborn trilogy was published in English this year, so I hope we can read it in Hungarian soon.
