The Stoneheart Trilogy

Hello! It's Patrick(that's me) here talking about more books. I finished Stoneheart, Ironhand, and Silvertongue. If you don't know, those are the three books in the Stoneheart trilogy. I really liked all of them because they had a lot of action. For example, George Chapman, the main character, has to fight three duels after choosing the Hard Way when he breaks the head off of a stone dragon-using a making hand to mar, in other words. If you want to know what that means, read the books. Two of the duels he fights in Ironhand- one by standing on the Gunner's plinth at midnight, saving the Gunner but forcing himself to endure some of the war the Gunner was built to commemorate. The other duel was stopping the Walker from opening a portal into the outer darkness and letting some ancient powers of darkness into the world. He stops all but one darkness from getting through, but obliterates the pentagram of protection the Walker made. The Walker is sucked into his own portal to take the place of the darkness known as the Ice Devil('cause nature abhors a vacuum!). The third duel is with the Dark Knight(please, no one mention Batman), who is the head night of the cnihtengild (pronounced k-nik-ten-gild) possessed by an ancient darkness.(not the ice devil, another one) I also like it because there is some romance going on between George and Edie(who is, in fact, a girl). The trilogy ends before anything really happens between them, but it does seem like they might be serious. Overall, these books are a very good read for young adults who enjoy fantasy and action.

Stoneheart

Hi! Patrick is back and talking about himself in the third person. He finished Bluestar's Prophecy a few days ago and he really liked it even though it was sad. He would give it a rating of 7.5 out of ten because it was a good book but not the best book ever. But now he has finished another book called Stoneheart about a boy named George who is dropped into an alternate London where statues and carvings are real when he breaks the head off of a stone dragon in anger. A taint, or a statue of a non-human creature, chases him and the only thing that saves him is a statue of a soldier form World War two, called the Gunner( a spit, or human statue), shoots it into powder. The Gunner continues to help George throughout the book. Patrick is done with the book but he won't reveal what happens. He likes the book a lot and would recommend it to anyone who likes young adult fantasy. He enjoys it because the main character doesn't really know or accept what is going on until the end and has to figure it out almost on his own. Patrick also likes how Eddie(who is, in fact, a girl) has to figure out her own power of seeing the past through stone or metal, called glinting, with only a cryptic riddle from a sphinx. Patrick is going to start reading the sequel to Stoneheart, called Ironhand soon, so look for that on his blog. Bye for now!

More About Bluestar's Prophecy

Hi. I'm Patrick and I'm back. I am continuing to read Bluestar's Prophecy by Erin Hunter. I still like it very much and will continue reading it. So far i am at the point just after Snowfur(Bluefur's sister) died and Pinestar(the leader) chooses to live as a kittypet in Twolegplace. I was not terribly shocked when Pinestar became a kittypet because there were a lot of clues before that point like spending time in Twolegplace talking to kittypets and becoming plump in leafbare(winter). Incidentally, Goosefeather(the medicin cat or healer and bringer of prophecies) saw Tigerkit and told the cats with him to keep "it", referring to Tigerkit, away. A warning for the future perhaps... Anyway, i really like the book and I think that the current ThunderClan deputy Tawnyspots will die in some rather nasty way because I know that Bluefur will become deputy and eventually leader. I think that Tigerpaw's(formerly Tigerkit) mentor will be a bad influence on Tigerpaw because if you have read Warriors then you know how he turns out... in case you were wondering, here is a pic of the book I'm writing about:

Bluestar's Prophecy

Hi! My name is Patrick and this is my Lit Skills blog. I will have a new book-related post here every week until June. Because I am being graded on this by my wonderful teacher Ms. Pietrzak(hi!) i will get to work now. I'm going to tell you about a GREAT new book I just started. It's called Bluestar's Prophecy and is by Erin Hunter and part of the Warriors series. If you don't already know, Warriors is a series about four clans (ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, and ShadowClan.)of wild cats that have many exciting adventures that you will want to read about. Bluestar's Prophecy is the second of the Warriors super additions, the first being Firestar's Quest.I have just finished the prologue, which consists of a account of when SPOILER ALLERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE DARKEST HOUR BY ERIN HUNTER AND PLAN ON DOING SO DO NOT READ ANY FARTHER(REALLY!) Bluestar is killed by the dog pack, from Bluestar's point of view. I thought this was interesting because it told how Bluestar felt being finally reunited with her to kits from RiverClan. More next week!
