This book now brings some new things into play, polar bears, the fire star, and of course the dragons, the story getting ever more complicated as David Rain finds himself mixed up in pretty much everything. Going to the Arctic and the permission to start writing a...

Icefire helps us learn more about the history of the Pannykettle dragons and just normal dragons in general. Icefire has more action in it than The Fire Within and has lots of legends twisted up in it, most of which turn out to be true. My...

I love this book. I just couldn't get enough of it and the rest of its series. This book is about a guy called David Rain, a university student who is staying with two females called Liz and Lucy Pennykettle, a single mum and her daughter. But...

I think this book is a great idea. The City of Ember is about people who live in absolute darkness, except for the streetlights and the lights in teh house, and they often go out. The people in the city wonder out that if in time the...

Do you ever get that feeling where you want to finish something as quickly as you can, and you want to know the end of the story, yet it is SO good that you want it to just keep going forever? Well, that's exactly what happened to me when I...

I read this book because of how much I loved the mortal instruments. At first I had my doubts, because usually when people write prequels, they are not as good as the others. But after some persuading from my friend, I thought that it sounded interesting. This book lived up...

I love Maria V. Snyder. I just thought I'd start with that. All of her books are so amazingly well written, and they are all set in a world of fantasy, magicians, magic and romance. All of the characters are fabulously well written. When I was...

Can you imagine if you lived in a place where animals could talk, and you could hear what everyone was thinking, ALL THE TIME?! Well, for Todd Hewitt, this is a reality. Todd lives in Prentisstown, has a dog called Manchee, and has never seen a female....

I loved how the plot in this book was so unpredictable, it made the book a lot more enjoyable to read, instead if it was just one of those books where you always know what is going to happen after the first chapter. I like it...

This book is about Torak and his oath to have his revenge on Thiazzi after Bale (Toraks bone-kin) gets murdered. Racked with grief, pain and guilt (Torak wasn't there for him, having left after a quarrel), he swears vengeance on Thiazzi and sets off to find him. ...

This book is about a boy called James Choke and his sister Lauren. Their mum is a shoplifting leader, and she dies because of drinking alchohol straight after her pill, which she wasn't supposed to do. So anyway, Lauren's dad (Ron) takes Lauren in, but James...

I read both Graceling and Fire, but I really think that Graceling was the better of the two. I love all the characters. Katsa is an really great protagonist. She's so strong, independent and she hates being feminine, which I think is pretty great. I really like...

I was waiting for AGES to borrow this book, I couldn't find it at my local library so I begged my parents to drive me all the way to another one. I never regret it though, it's an absolutely beautiful ending to a beautiful series. I...

Everyone thought that the gaiaphage was the ultimate thing to fear. Or Drake, of course. But no one could imagine just how scary something could be to have the gaiaphage trembling. The children of the FAYZ (Fallout Alley Youth Zone) have faced a lot. Mutations, starvation,...

After I had finished City of Bones, the first book of this amazing series, I was begging my parents to let me get the second one. My dad finally said yes, but after nearly a month of waiting, my friend Cassidy just lent it to me instead. I finished the...
