It has been…very…very long. Blogging has been hard but I found myself pausing because harder than blogging was the reason I blogged in the first place. Reading. University classes left me with almost no time and my personal life has spent the last few months shifting from imploding to exploding in turns. This isn’t to say that everything was bad and hopefully this is the first post leading to more (frequent, regular) posts about the good things that have been happening in 2021!
Much like last time, I seem to be making this month’s first post on the last day of the month (not the last weekend this time…would you look at that!) This is a book I heard about through The Write Reads Tour and because of them and Harper Collins, I got to truly enjoy my first book of the second half of this year!
So without further ado…I present to you…

Lyra. Lucy. Percy. Once in a generation, a hero emerges whose story enthralls readers worldwide.
Fireborn is an epic quest, perfect for fans of the His Dark Materials and The School for Good and Evil series, that will spin readers into a magical world like no other–and introduce them to an unforgettable new heroine named Twelve.
Ember is full of monsters.
Twelve gave up her name and identity to train in the art of hunting them–so she says. The truth is much more deadly: she trains to take revenge on those who took her family from her. But when Twelve’s new home is attacked, she’ll find herself on an unexpected journey, where her hidden past is inescapably intertwined with her destiny–and the very fate of her world.
About the Author
Aisling was born in 1985 and wishes that she had grown up in a magical, mountainous kingdom, but was actually raised in Surrey on a diet of books and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Her early ‘adventure’ stories involved surprisingly little action and her first novel (3 pages long) was politely declined by publishers at age 11.
After earning a BSc in Biology and working as a support worker and then a nurse, the idea for her debut novel, Fireborn, came to her as she moved back and forth between London and the US. Now based in Hackney, when she is not reading or writing,
Aisling loves cooking and plotting adventures (for herself as well as her fictional characters). Fireborn will be published by HarperCollins in 2021.
