The volcano at Stonewin is frozen over and the lands are blasted with a deadly cold. This is the work of Blaze the Ice Dragon, sent by wicked Wizard Malvel to thwart Tom's quest to save his father. Can he defeat Blaze and win the next piece of Amulet before it's too late?
Adam Blade is the house name for the Working Partners Ltd. ghostwriters who write the Beast Quest and Sea Quest series.
Adam Blade is in his late twenties, and was born in Kent, England. His parents were both history teachers and amateur artists, and Adam grew up surrounded by his father’s paintings of historic English battles – which left a lifelong mark on his imagination. He was also fascinated by the ancient sword and shield that hung in his father’s office. Adam’s father said they were a Blade family heirloom.
As a boy, Adam would spend days imagining who could have first owned the sword and shield. Eventually, he created a character – Tom, the bravest boy warrior of them all. The idea for Beast Quest was born.
When Adam grew up and decided that he wanted to be a writer, he was stuck for ideas – until he remembered the old sword and shield, and the imaginary boy he had created when he was young. Adam decided to bring Tom fully to life so that readers could go on the kind of adventures that he always wanted to when he was that age… And still does, even though he’s grown up!
When he’s not writing Beast Quest books, Adam enjoys visiting museums and ancient battle sites. His main hobbies are fencing and football. He also spends a lot of time at home running around after his two exotic pets – a tarantula named Ziggy, and a capuchin monkey named Omar. These little rascals were the inspiration for two of the Beasts that Tom faces on his Quest – Arachnid and Claw.
Sadly, Adam does not have his own Fire-Dragon or Horse-Man. But he really wishes he did!
Como libro, para un adulto, no tiene nada mínimamente interesante, pero es el primer libro que me leo conjuntamente con mi hijo mayor, cada uno por su cuenta para ir comentando en un miniclub de lectura, y eso hace que sea una lectura muy especial. Esta saga puede ser una buena puerta de entrada a una literatura fantástica más elaborada para cuando aun no están preparados para leer libros más extensos y complejos.
Том е успял да победи още един от Призрачните зверове, надделявайки над лунната вълчица, но вълшебните му сили намаляват с всяко късче, което намира от Амулета, способен да върне физическото тяло на баща му Таладон, превърнах в дух от злия магьосник Малвел. Сега той, приятелката му Елена и четириногите им спътници вълка Силвър и жребеца Стронг се изправят срещу истинска криза, тъй като хиени са разпространили чума след населението, а единственият лек е поразен от ледения дракон Блейз, чудовищен противник със сила, каквато Том не е срещал досега. Ще успее ли младежът да спечели и тази битка или този път пътят му ще приключи?
Ryan's review: it was great. Probably the second best book I ever read. (After Because of Winn-Dixie). It was exciting and adventurous like always. I love Adam Blade's books. They are always exciting.
This book was very interesting in the way that Malvel was controlling Blaze the whole time. I also really liked the cover art. I would recommend to anyone who wants a quick, fun read. 10/10
