Mia and the Lightcasters: Umbra Tales 1 (The Umbra Tales)

Product Information

Ein Kritikpunkt meinerseits sind auch ein paar Logikfehler, welche jedoch meinem Lesevergnügen nur wenig geschadet haben. For fans of Amari and the Night Brothers, The Legend of Podkin One-Ear and Nevermoor , this is the first in the sensational Umbra Tales series, illustrated by Ana Latese. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Mia and the Lightcasters plunges readers into the middle of a game where the objective is to survive by overthrowing the reaper king - a demonic-inspired character set on destroying the world - and restoring peace.

Auch ihre enge Beziehung zu ihrer Familie, besonders ihrem kleinen Bruder Lucas, und ihren Freunden hat mir sehr gefallen. It is a really great addition to books of these genres and one I know many children in our school will enjoy reading. In her free time, you can find her holed up in her room, gaming and watching anime (some of her favorites being Inuyasha, Dragon Ball Z, and Death Note), or attending numerous comic cons and gaming events. Home to William Golding, Sylvia Plath, Kazuo Ishiguro, Sally Rooney, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Max Porter, Ingrid Persaud, Anna Burns and Rachel Cusk, among many others, Faber is proud to publish some of the greatest novelists from the early twentieth century to today.Once, a young girl looking to her parents for guidance to being responsible for everyone's safety, including her younger brother. Die Erzählerin ist die 12-jährige Mia, die in Nubis aufwächst, eine Stadt, die seit ein Übergriff vom König des Finsternis vor mehreren Jahren im Dunkeln liegt.

There is not only a gorgeous map of Lunis at the start, but there are also a series of the most stunning double-page illustrations which complement the dark edgy vibes of the story perfectly. Mia lives with her family in the town of Nubis, in a small country, Lunis, that had six cities (three now destroyed) surrounding the Shadowplains, where dangerous creatures walk. Es war nicht einfach sie zu mögen, denn so richtig gewachsen ist sie mit ihren Fähigkeiten und ihrer Aufgabe nicht. Urban fantasy worlds have magic, they have witches and sorcerers, and magical beings: vampires, werewolves, fae, and ghosts. The lives of her parents and the fate of the city is in the hands of Mia and her friends, TJ and Jada.You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods. Kieran Larwood, author of The Legend of Podkin One-Ear’A thrilling, highly imaginative and action-packed fantasy. Often, in books I read, the protagonist is always keen on accessing magic or being able to control it. Readers who like their heroes brave, resourceful and caring, magical and with a skill in martial arts are going to love twelve-year-old Mia.

Mia and the Lightcasters displays the hidden power and strength within and encourages readers to know and understand their true worth. Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example.

Doch die Buchwelt zugreifen viel mir anfangs schwer, als ich mich darin zurecht fand, wurden immer mal so Zwischenkapitel eingeschoben, die anscheinend genau dies vereinfachen sollten, aber für mich entweder zu spät platziert warden oder einfach die Handlung störten.
