Brightstorm: 1 (The Brightstorm Chronicles)

Product Information

The main villain was also well-crafted, and though she did seem slightly cliche'd to me at times, she still fit the story well and had some really interesting elements to her character and motivations.

The Brightstorm moth, a new species discovered by Ernest Brightstorm in the Northern Isles, uses the light of the moon to ensure they travel in an absolutely straight line, allowing them to navigate successfully between two volcanic islands fifty miles apart, and never stray from their path. We also have a whole load of side characters, like Harriet Culpepper, Felicity Wiggety and Eudora Vane. Twelve-year-old twins Maudie and Arthur’s world comes crashing in when their explorer dad is reported dead in his mission to get to South Polaris. It appears that this book is only currently available in the UK and the reviews for it are sky high.

This is a very well-paced book, with plenty of action and high-stakes, as well as lovely personal and tender moments and introspection.

Built around a fan favourite character from previous Brightstorm Chronicle Firesong, this scintillating fantasy adventure sees Princess Ganzorig leave the Citadel in pursuit of a cure for her sickly uncle. The book has many positive messages, and through the characters Hardy makes the reader feel like they can do anything.

Eudora Vane belongs to a great and ancient Explorer family, and she will stop at nothing to keep her family name great.

Yes, there are a few harrowing parts, but seeing as this is a middle-grade fiction, I really wouldn’t’ve expected any harsh life-lessons at this point. I requested to review the book because I like the cover and the synopsis sounds like something I might like. They also visit a city that has converted to hydro and wind power instead of pitch and has experienced great success.

As a parent, I will be forever grateful to Vashti for the beautiful twin relationship she has created in her stories and how she has encouraged my children to celebrate who they are and their special relationship.Hardy has created an original land featuring sky-ships, thought-wolves (my new favourite creature), unique continents and a great cast of characters with a couple of notable villains. Eventually though I was able to re-frame my mindset toward the story and I was able to enjoy it for the delightful story that it is. Brightstorm was also selected for Independent Booksellers Book of the Season and Primary School Book Club Reads. I love books that center on explorers and adventurers, so Brightstorm right away seemed like something that I would like.
