DESCRIPTION
In the second instalment of the award-winning, critically acclaimed Lightfall series, Bea and Cad continue their quest to stop Kest, the mythic bird who stole the sun. Perfect for middle grade fans of Amulet and Avatar the Last Airbender, Lightfall: Shadow of the Bird is another breathtaking journey into the magical world of Irpa, where epic battles and powerful creatures abound.
After a battle that nearly cost them their lives, Bea and Cad awaken in the hidden settlement of the Arsai, mysterious creatures who can glimpse into the future. The Arsai’s vision paints a dire picture for their planet, as the bird Kest Ke Belenus—now awoken from a restless slumber—threatens to destroy all the Lights of Irpa. Desperate for a solution, Bea and Cad seek out the help of a water spirit known as Lorgon, whose ancient wisdom may help them find a way to take down Kest and save Irpa from utter destruction.
But when their time with Lorgon presents more questions than answers, Bea and Cad must decide what’s more important . . . stopping Kest or uncovering the truth.
MY REVIEW
If you have seen my review of the first graphic novel in the series, then you'll know that I adore this book already.
Continuing the journey with Bea and Cad, we stumble across more adventures, struggles, challenges - all in order to restore the world they live in and save it from pure darkness.
Again, following the adorable characters that you will become to love and cherish. Lots of ups and downs, emotions and gorgeous illustrations.
Particularly in this graphic novel, I loved the way that Tim Probert illustrated a sense of doubt in Bea where a dark cloud seems to form around her. I felt that was such a powerful image and idea to portray to truly understand the story.
