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

Product Information

How is it that only older sisters ever seem to get burdened with whiny younger siblings to drag along and look after while doing things like saving the world? 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. Candy Gourlay introduces Wild Song, her companion novel to Bone Talk, in which Luki and Samkad leave their home in the Philippines for America.

The author is careful not to stretch or break the rules, and explains the magic system in a detailed and easy-to-understand way. If I have one complaint, it's I would have liked to spend a little longer on the final climax of the story as it was over fairly fast, but it's not a huge problem.Und selbst wenn der Leser glaubt, alle Geheimnisse zu kennen, so gibt es doch die eine oder andere Überraschung am Ende.

Die Geschichte ist in sich abgeschlossen, das Ende wirft aber ein paar Fragen auf und macht richtig Lust auf den zweiten Band! To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. After a terrifying encounter, she has developed a fear of umbra, yet she faces and overcomes that fear in her determination to save her family, friends and city.Die Menschen leben mit Schattenwesen namens Umbra zusammen, die mich an die Patroni bei Harry Potter erinnern. I really felt the sense of threat and tension throughout as I learned more about this terrifying King who is responsible for the perpetual Darkness, and who has willing and loyal followers prepared to carry out his wishes.
