Doubleborn

fullDescription

The third book in the acclaimed Dragonborn series pairs lyrical prose with an enthralling fantasy world, perfect for fans of Wings of Fire and How to Train Your Dragon.
For years, the cruel wizard Ash has been trapped in a magical prison, but now, she is poised to escape and get her revenge by unleashing an army of vicious monsters. Only three stand in her way: Sam, the apprentice of the wizard who imprisoned her, Starback, Sam's steadfast dragon companion, and Tamrin, a runaway apprentice.
Tamrin and Sam have only just met—but neither of them can deny the strange force that links them. To defeat Ash and protect everything they hold dear, they must uncover the secret behind their connection. But can two apprentices and a single dragon prevent the total destruction of the land they call home?
Toby Forward's lyrically written, much-lauded series continues in this epic fantasy saga full of heart, friendship, and adventure.

     December 1, 2014
     Mirrors and magic collide in this third volume of a lyrical fantasy quartet.Canterstock College isn't much of a wizarding school anymore, but Tamrin is still furious when she is unjustly expelled; resentful and determined, she follows the only clue to her past. Meanwhile, the wizard apprentice Sam feels compelled to seek out the young girl he barely knows. They accumulate an odd assortment of allies on their separate journeys to a horrific confrontation with the twisted wizard Ash, now on the verge of escape. The only barrier to Ash's scheme to warp magic itself into her own monstrous reflection is the strange bond Tam and Sam share....Despite the heightened external stakes, the gruesome encounters with Ash and her loathsome minions, the real impetus behind the story is each character's need to answer the leitmotif inquiry: "What am I?" Rich, sensuous prose, dense with potent metaphors and allusions, channels a narrative that loops around itself, requiring many passages to be read more than once to get their full impact; indeed, the final battle is described so elliptically as to be almost opaque (and unfortunately anticlimactic). Some characters and plot points are left dangling, leaving readers to wait for the final volume for definitive resolution.Nevertheless, with its gorgeous language and thoughtful themes, this is a book to be savored rather than devoured. (Fantasy. 10-16)
