( ) Reviewed by Kira M for TeensReadToo.com In the near future, the world has been destroyed by climate changes. Life is almost impossible in Ireland. The topsoil, for the most part, has been washed away by torrential rain. Commander Aiden Liddy, last seen as a toddler in THE LAST OF THE HIGH KINGS, is now part of an elite governing army that has stockpiled the food and is in charge of distributing and controlling the population. His general, Donal, has an alternate agenda that might destroy both worlds as they know it. With T'ír na n'Óg unchanged, the king of the fairies has had an influx of refugees and is not happy about it. The only hope for the two worlds is something that lies within the fairy world. Pup, one of the citizens under rule of the tyrannical Commander, is upset to one day find his brother missing. Thinking that it's the commander who took him, he confronts him and gets "volunteered" to be part of a special force. The force's job is to go into the fairy world and steal something that will save them all. But how can Pup trust a man who may have kidnapped his brother? Will Aiden and Pup find a way to save both worlds? THE WHITE HORSE TRICK is a great fantasy adventure filled with a fast-paced plot and complex characters. Although the global warming issue seems a little heavy, the author does a great job of weaving together a magical story filled with cleverness and teamwork. Readers who like fantasy, adventure, action, fairies, and apocalyptic-type stories will enjoy reading this trilogy in order, beginning with THE NEW POLICEMAN. Global warming has turned Ireland into a stormy wasteland, where soldiers roam and the populace is slowly starving. But Tir na nOg is just around the corner. With luck and hard work, perhaps some people can be saved from the catastrophe. I could have done without the very final twist, but otherwise this is a worthy conclusion to the series that began with The New Policeman. näyttää 4/4 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

In the late twenty-first century, dramatic climate change has made life in Ireland almost impossible, and soon Tir na n'Og is faced with a refugee problem, partly because of a warlord who is a member of the Liddy family. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
