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!!!"
