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.

  1. Hi there, Patrick. That sounds like a good book with a lot of action in it. I like how you put the pronunciations in for the cnihtengild. Thanks, it helps a lot! :) Also, I like how you did the funny words and what-not in paranthesis. Keep up with the good books, I'll have to read that series!
