Narration In Pursuance Of Books The Fire Chronicle (The Books of Beginning #2)

After the tumultuous events of last winter, Kate, Michael, and Emma long to continue the hunt for their missing parents. But they themselves are now in great danger, and so the wizard Stanislaus Pym hides the children at the Edgar Allan Poe Home for Hopeless and Incorrigible Orphans. There, he says, they will be safe. How wrong he is. 

The children are soon discovered by their enemies, and a frantic chase sends Kate a hundred years into the past, to a perilous, enchanted New York City. Searching for a way back to her brother and sister, she meets a mysterious boy whose fate is intricately—and dangerously—tied to her own.

Meanwhile, Michael and Emma have set off to find the second of the Books of Beginning. A series of clues leads them into a hidden world where they must brave harsh polar storms, track down an ancient order of warriors, and confront terrible monsters. Will Michael and Emma find the legendary book of fire—and master its powers—before Kate is lost to them forever? 

Exciting, suspenseful, and brimming with humor and heart, the next installment of the bestselling Books of Beginning trilogy will lead Kate, Michael, and Emma closer to their family—and to the magic that could save, or destroy, them all.

Assess Regarding Books The Fire Chronicle (The Books of Beginning #2)

Great Story! Can't wait for the final book! It is a young adult novel in the fantasy genre, with terrific characterizations of the three children who are the main characters, loaded with excitement, humor, suspense and cliff hangers. Well done by John Stephens!

I still like this series, but it's a bit too much "Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings" for me to truly appreciate. I crave original fantasy! I did rather enjoy the parts where Kate was off in history, but not so much Michael and Emma's journey and battle. Also, perhaps part of my problem is that I listened to Jim Dale read this. All of his voices for this are the same as his Harry Potter voices.

I just can't put down this series! I felt this book did not have an ending, but I am not disappointed because who wants a good book to end?



Initial thoughts:1. Michael was both sweet and annoying...in that sibling/brotherly way. Lot's of great character development and introspection with his character.2. So much magic and adventure! Fun, fast-paced read. CRAZY CLIFFHANGER CHAPTERS.3. There were quite a few Dumbledore-eque moments with Dr. Pym. It was awesome. :)4. Which reminds me, there were quite a few elements that reminded me of Harry Potter and LOTR... Not too sure how I feel about that. Just something I noticed.5. Lot's of

Enjoyable, but not nearly as good as the first one. Michael can be really annoying at times, though his heart is good. Will listen to the last one, but gonna take a break from them first.

I love The Fire Chronicle! I finished this one and started the next one immediately so I don't really what happened in which book, but I loved Jake and Beetles. I'm considering opening up a shop. Anyway this was a great sequel to and awesome first book and the whole series this far is amazing.
