I wanted to share a new book I received in exchange for this review. Wildfire: The Rise of a Hero (Ashes Over Avalon Trilogy Book 1) by Jordan S. Keller. Inside this post is my affiliate link. If you click on the link and make a purchase I will make a small percentage from the products you purchase.
Normally I would shy away from a book about a Superhero but the cover of this book drew me in. With the pretty girls with beautiful red wavy hair I wish I had. Along with the red eye mask drawing us to her pretty eyes. I also like the color of Lipstick she had one.
Look at the City at the bottom or the cover that will draw you in. We had fun guessing which City it might be. The night Sky was full of orange and brown reminding us of fire. I don’t know about you but I would like to visit here.
Charlie and I read Wildfire: The Rise of a Hero (Ashes Over Avalon Trilogy Book 1) by Jordan S. Keller together and we loved how the Author did a nice job balancing the sci-fi superhero side of the story with the personal story of the main character Abigail. Charlie and I wish we could have been friends with Abigail.
Charlie thought it was cool finding out the Superheroes work for corporations. Charlie and I enjoyed finding out this book is part of a series and we can’t wait to read the second book. Just remember you don’t have to read the second book this makes a wonderful Stand alone story.
If your children are into Superhero’s and they don’t mind the girl being the heroine Charie said then they would enjoy the book as well. Which we would have used Wildfire: The Rise of a Hero (Ashes Over Avalon Trilogy Book 1) by Jordan S. Keller in our Homeschool Reading Class.
About the book:
Abigail Turner knew she wanted to be a Superhero even before her flame powers developed. She honed her skills, aced community college, and became the sidekick to San Arbor’s number one hero, Volcanic. When she is fired for misconduct, however, furthering her career seems impossible.
Determined to don her cape at a different Superhero company, Abigail knows she must get stronger and accepts a deal from an unlikely source.
Cinder, a similarly powered villain who has bested her at every encounter, offers to train her if Abigail owes him a favor: A way out of the City.
Falling in love wasn’t part of the deal.
As the line between good and evil blurs, Abigail must choose between her passion to do good and her love for a villain who is hiding much more behind his mask.
Wildfire offers an introspective look at the relationships and career complexities within a Superhero society and the pursuit of one’s identity when the shadows of their past loom over their future.
