Cult of the Clan (Napoleon Xylophone Book 3) par Frank Lambert
Cult of the Clan (Napoleon Xylophone Book 3) by Frank Lambert is another great book by this author. The cover art of this book is simply amazing and absolutely horrifying. I love how that sets the tone for the book. This is a great read: a perfect fantasy book filled with menace and treachery. This book carries on pretty seamlessly from the first two books in the series, giving it solid continuity. I got right into this book with no problem. Zam is a well-described character and goes on an amazing journey in this book. Overall a great read and highly recommend it for those who love fantasy, danger, and adventure.… (plus d'informations)
In Cult Of The Clan the third book in the Napoleon Xylophone Books by Frank Lambert instead of grandpa being in danger this time it’s Xams grandmother. Unlike the first two books this time he is not waiting around to run from them and try and keep out of danger but he will hunt them down it seems they want to be immortal and the only way they can do that is to eat a changeling. Anyone who is familiar with these books knows that is what Xams grandmother is. Can he save her from certain death or is he doomed to lose her yet again? I’d love these books and I especially love the way they have normal conversations that you think mean nothing to the story but eventually you realize it meant everything Frank Lambert has a great knack for inventing creepy scenes and heartwarming dialogue despite that usually not going together he makes it look easy. Just the prologue alone gave me heebie-jeebies but then we switched to Xam‘s 18th birthday and that is just the beginning of the action packed ever-changing vibe of the book and it all makes for one great read! I am really enjoying this book series it really has wonderful characters a great disabled hero and so many quirky friends and companions and villains along the way. Please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.… (plus d'informations)
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.… (plus d'informations)
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.… (plus d'informations)
