This time around, the boy and his dragon volunteer for a mission to Norway and beyond to help three orphaned Pegasus foals who need a griffin’s feather to stay alive. Now, the German author, best known for her best-selling Inkheart series, reunites Firedrake and Ben for a new adventure in The Griffin’s Feather. In this first novel in the series, reissued by the publisher this year, one young brave dragon named Firedrake teams up with Ben, a lonely young boy, on a fantastical journey to find a mythical safe haven for the dragons that’s threatened by an evil dragon hunter. ![]() ![]() With the imminent threat of human invasion, the silver dragons must relocate to a safe haven in Cornelia Funke‘s children’s fantasy novel Dragon Rider, originally released in the U.S. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It seems counter-intuitive to call a book of this magnitude 'delicate', but that's just how the story appears. It's a novel where balance and vacuums play a big part. At a deeper level, he explores the thin lines between imagination and reality, life and death and what you might call yin and yang. On the surface it's a love story set in a slightly fantastical setting with a little bit of crime thrown in. As often with Murakami though, it's possible to read this book at a number of levels. It does, though, demand a degree of dedication, and if the prospect of a 1300 page novel in which not a huge amount happens in terms of plot and in which there is a significant level of repetition leaves you cold, then this might not be the best entry point into the wonderful world of Haruki Murakami. The first book in the series in particular is almost completely baffling if taken in isolation. ![]() In many ways, the trilogy almost has to be read in this way as the three component books make little sense on their own. The 1Q84 trilogy is, without doubt, an impressive book. Summary: The slow pace of Murakami's beautiful and delicate mixture of love story and alternate reality may not appeal to all, but where else can you find a book that makes you believe in Little People and in a world with two moons? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To learn more about how and for what purposes Amazon uses personal information (such as Amazon Store order history), please visit our Privacy Notice.

After I completed the story I read an interview with the author at the end of the book and she stated she had tried very hard to avoid that feeling of preferring one over another. Usually with a book such as this, I find a preference for one time or one voice. The story is told by two voices and in two time periods. History (that ran for 75 years!) that I now know more about.

As the second book in the series 'The Dark Forest' is a minor improvement over 'The Three-Body Problem', but the writer still has a long way to go.
