An awesome
six book fantasy series by Australian author Garth
Nix. The books feature two teenagers from very different worlds: Tal, from the Castle, who's trying to cure his sick mother, and rescue his kidnapped brother, and Milla, an Icecarl from the frozen wastelands, who aspires to be a Shield Maiden, but must first help Tal in his quest. Together, this radically different duo encounters giant spiders, talking lizards, travel to another dimension, narrowly avoid being squashed by a levitating mountain, and
fight a giant, evil dragon inside a
tornado!!! It is an awesome series, even better than Harry Potter. I really wish there was more than
six books....
Homie: "Like, what book series would you like to see get made
next, now that The Hunger Games are
done?"
Me: "OMG, definitely The Seventh Tower!!! Those books were such a big part of my childhood, and I'd love to see them brought to life!!!"
