Genre: Middle Grade, Fantasy
The Child of the Sky and The Child of the Land will find
each other and they will have to make choices, choices between life and death,
between love and hatred and between the past, the present and the future. Qui
Natch Ndee, The Wind of the People, will show them the way, despite the dangers
of the deadly claws of the cold down draft. The Flyers and the Wanderers will
only be able to survive if they understand nature and its powers; otherwise
they will all vanish forever. Timo and Rider must become one heart and one body
to find the Star of Vita, the ancient weapon, but their enemies are always
nearby and their goal is to destroy them.
My Thoughts:
I received this book when it first came out. I was so excited to receive it. I carried it back and forth to work with me
sure that I would have time to read it.
It didn’t happen. I came home
sure I would have time to read it. I didn’t. I was so agitated I was unable to get to it
or any book. I finally got sick and lay
in bed reading it from cover to cover. I
finished the book in October but didn’t get to the review until today. I am so sorry that I was unable to recommend
the book sooner. I definitely recommend
the ENTIRE series. I loved this
series. I will definitely reread
it. I don’t do that with many
books. This final book took both sides
good and evil and brought them together in a battle that had me sitting on the
edge of my seat. I loved that both
Wardor and Thorn were given the opportunity to turn their lives around, yet
they let greed get in their way of redemption.
Knowing that there were love interests waiting to see if their loved
ones would survive, while they did their part in this battle made for another
interesting aspect. Everything was tied
up neatly. This series like his first
“Chantel’s Quest” keeps you breathless until you read the last word. I feel so honored to have gotten to know the
author through his books. I will read
and recommend anything he puts out that is of the same quality of his two
series. If you have someone who is not
sure they like fantasy, then let him or her cut their teeth on his books. They are not the dark fantasy that scares so
many middle school readers away from the genre.
They are adventurous, uplifting, motivating and life changing. This is something even your reluctant readers
will get into. I can’t recommend them
enough. I would love to stand at the top
of a mountain and shout out, “Read books written by Oliver Neubert!” So what are you waiting for? I'm standing at the top of that mountain shouting to you to read his books!
