Synopsis: Lyra. Lucy. Percy. Once in a generation, a hero emerges whose story enthralls readers worldwide.
Ember is full of monsters. Twelve 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. But when Twelve’s new home is attacked, she’ll find herself on an unexpected journey, where her hidden past is inescapably intertwined with her destiny–and the very fate of her world.
Review: I absolutely loved this book! It was so much fun and I had a lot of fun reading it. The characters were well developed. The world building was amazing. I loved the characters and I really enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
The only issue I had with the book is that the beginning is a little slow and the main character isn’t that likeable for a little bit, but I think this character will speak well to a lot of younger kids who suffer from trauma and anger.
Verdict: It was amazingly well done!
