But between the fearsome new Head Minister’s strict anti-magician agenda, fierce Junior Agent rivalries, and her brother Quinton’s curse steadily worsening, Amari’s plate is full. And if she finds the long-lost Forever Fern before the twins, both Jungledrop and our world will crumble. It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything.
She's the only one who can solve this mystery, and she'll need help from the only other member of the family with good instincts - Dave the dog.I also just think I read it at the wrong time- at the moment, I have to be in a very specific mood to enjoy middle grade. I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books.
Loveable heroine Amari has more troubles to deal with when a time-freeze hits the magical congress – and she. I am guessing she likes the story, because I haven't seen her for the past 4 hours ;)The book itself is lovely, comes in a nice hard cover edition and it looks amazing. The world building is incredible, the history, the themes, the magick, the characters, it's all so freaking beautiful! once these characters all come together around that 80% mark, wonderful things happen, but the waiting period to get to an exciting part of the story is such a huge contrast to the incredible experience I had with the first novel in this series.
Since it's just setting up the cliffhanger ending, it doesn't have to try to rush an ending at least, so that was good too. When I read the first book, it seemed okay, but after having read the sequel, I think the author should use a *different* term because Riordan already used ‘glamour’ in his books.
B. Alston's debut is a rousing success and kicks off a series that will truly stand out from the rest! Your words, like your reviews, bring books to life and give them a voice before the front cover is even turned. Her life has completely changed and she finds all sorts of new responsibilities and worries on her plate.But by the time I’d reached Chapter 5 in this second book, I had been having steady Harry Potter flashbacks. Instead she is offered the Crown of Count Vladimir, a rare treasure that confers powers she doesn’t feel ready to accept. And the longer the author/publisher waits to publish a sequel does NOT equal an increased anticipation from readers. While many parallels can be drawn between the protagonist and a certain boy wizard, readers will root for Amari's own unique determination and wit.
Es wurde wohl darauf gebaut, dass man im ersten Band jederzeit nachschlagen kann, was man wissen muss. I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! The game portion and the investigation both ended up being wrapped up (for now) really quickly, while I found the lead up to both confrontations a bit dragged out for what we got.The first book in this series, AMARI AND THE NIGHT BROTHERS was one of my favourite reads of 2021, and it’s my number one recommendation for patrons looking for books like Harry Potter.
Great Deal
