Review:

"With its gorgeous language and thoughtful themes, this is a book to be savored rather than devoured." ―Kirkus Reviews on DOUBLEBORN

"The story will engage readers with its rich cast of secondary characters, exciting action scenes, and two sympathetic young protagonists. Fans will enjoy this compelling continuation of the Dragonborn series." ―Booklist on DOUBLEBORN

"Lyrical prose of lapidary precision and restraint etches a character-driven narrative of intimate enchantments . . . Terrifying, moving, inspiring and enthralling." ―starred review, Kirkus Reviews on FIREBORN

"Humble, earthy . . . and thought provoking--making this excellent middle-grade fantasy a rich mix of character, seriousness, comic foibles, and loving exactitude." ―The Horn Book Magazine on FIREBORN

"Distinguished by its vivid cast of characters and multilayered relationships . . . The fine writing and compelling plot are sure to enthrall readers of high fantasy." ―School Library Journal on FIREBORN

"This beautifully written fantasy . . . masterfully balances humor with deadly serious content in a manner reminiscent of Lloyd Alexander at his best." ―starred review, Publishers Weekly on DRAGONBORN

"Accessible, full-of-surprises fantasy . . . Forward's fantasy has glimmers of Tolkien, Alexander, [and] Rowling." ―The Horn Book Magazine on DRAGONBORN
