The themes do swing to the darker side of middle grade, with some intense scenes, but I cannot wait to see where this goes. I love reading children's books, talking to them about books, engaging them in reading for pleasure and recommending books to them.

The myriad of dark creatures were breath-taking, and scary, from the cliffcrawlers to the Ygrex to the deathspinner. The poor girl had to dig holes to bury the bodies, you can understand that she is broken and that it would shape itself into anger and vengeance. 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. Some middle grades straddle that line of young and older alike, this one felt like the age it's intended for and there's nothing wrong with that.One should never judge a book by its cover but this cover seems to work very well for its target group: Once my son, age 11, saw the cover in my review he asked me to get him the book once it is translated to German. I love what happens in this story and maybe it’s because I like slight creepy/spooky things but there’s just something about the adventure that was so interesting.

Sie hat ihre ganze Familie verloren, weil ihr Dorf zerstört worden ist und hat sie alleine begraben.

A warrior that fights alongside her comrades for the good of Ember but she has ulterior motives and is desperate to seek revenge for her family killed by the Cave Clan. Every time I thought I knew where the plot was heading, it swiftly changed direction and I loved this. It also deals with heavier topics including bullying and prejudice, as well as dealing with grief and adversity, and it does them well, without losing the magic of being a fantastical adventure and that takes skill. 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.
