Xyz (Napoleon Xylophone Book 2) por Frank Lambert
In book 2 of Napoleon xylophone it starts with the hunter named Bonnyman he is in search of a cannibalistic shape shifter and is task with its death. Unfortunately when battling said shape shifter bonnyman is the last man standing the only problem is he isn’t standing because both of his legs are broken before he knows it to survive he eats the flesh of the Shapeshifter which in turn causes him to be a canna ballistic monster of sorts and he eventually eats the Shapeshifter and all of his dead companions. In a more familiar part of Scotland Xam is that home with grandpa Eli when a monster tries to drag him through Amira and he is only saved by one of Eli‘s inventions given to him for defense and it worked. When he tells grandpa Eli he doesn’t seem surprised at all when he finds out he is going to half to hunt down the monster that tried to take him he tells grandpa Eli they should bring Hestia with them. Xam it’s surprised when grandpa is a little reluctant not that he doesn’t like Hestia but maybe because he likes her a little too much. Hestia is a changeling from book one Ghost Doors it seems the more Xam learns about grandpa Eli‘s world the stranger it gets so when he finds himself hunting down a magical cannibalistic creature with a ghost as a stalker he starts to think all of this must just be par for the course. However the attack through the mirror will not be the last attempt on Xam’s life and during this quest they will see old friends and make new ones as well as enemies this book is full of craziness which is cannibal changelings ghost and so much more and it all makes for a great interesting paranormal sci-fi adventure. I love these books and cannot wait for the third one! Xam is a great poster boy for heroes because even though he is in a wheelchair that may or may not be a Shapeshifter as well he doesn’t let that stop him. I love grandpa Eli Hestia Xara and many other wonderful characters you’ll find in this book as well as great villains. I love this book and highly recommended please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.… (más)
The book, Xyz follows up Ghost Doors, featuring Napoleon Xylophone, a clairvoyant teen hero in a wheelchair. I loved the first book and this one doesn't disappoint. You are taken into the Underworld, meeting new and old faces smoothly. It's a dark story, perfect for teens yet enjoyable for adults. Lambert's poetic style adds depth, making the story unique yet engaging. The banter among the characters feels natural, and they are all interesting. Napoleon's bravery shines through, making this such a brilliantly crafted tale that sticks with you, a testament to Lambert's creativity. Recommended.… (más)
Ghost Doors by Frank Lambert is a well-written and engaging story featuring great characters. Get ready for an exciting adventure. When Zam's grandpa mysteriously disappears, Zam and his buddy Ezzy decide to dive into the underworld on a crazy mission to save him. This story has everything you need for a fun read, mystery, excitement, and more. The characters are so unique, each with a cool role introduced cleverly. The author shows that anyone, disabled or not, can achieve awesome things. It's a positive message, especially for young readers. I liked how the friendship between Zam and Ezzy was described. The author did his homework, and the well-organized and fast-paced plot keeps things entertaining on every page. Highly recommend.… (más)
"Ghost Doors" by Frank Lambert, was an engaging and unique YA fantasy novel that stood out for me for its imaginative storytelling. The story revolves around Zam, who embarks on a fantastical journey in the Underworld of Newcastle to rescue his grandfather, who has been abducted by a supernatural being. What makes Zam a refreshing protagonist is his walking disability, which doesn’t hinder his adventure, showing a different type of heroism.
The book is fast-paced and includes a range of magical characters, it has plenty of action, humor, and emotion, making it a well rounded novel.
"Ghost Doors" is a great addition to the YA fantasy genre in my opinion. TI think the book's creativity and character development makes it a valuable read for those looking for diversity in young adult fiction.… (más)
