I recently had a chance to review Fireborn: Phoenix and the Frost Palace by Aisling Fowler. Although this book is a sequel, it was still enjoyable to read - and now I want to check out the first book. It's full of twists and turns, adventure and responsibility, witches and darkness, and more. With a strong female heroine and a fantasy setting that will seem both familiar and fresh, it's a great book for middle grade readers (and even older kids).
Aisling Fowler wishes that she had grown up in a magical, mountainous kingdom but was actually raised in Surrey on a diet of books and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. After earning a BS in biology and working first as a support worker and then a nurse, the idea for Fireborn came to her as she moved back and forth between London and the US. Now based in Hackney, when she is not reading or writing Aisling loves cooking and plotting adventures (for herself as well as her fictional characters).
