In the beginning, Kate is separated from Michael and Emma as she uses the book of Atlas to go back into the past but is unfortunately unable to get back to the present. Part 1 was mainly about the elder sister Kate getting hold of the first book, while the Fire Chronicle is about Michael, the second sibling, becoming the keeper of the second book, The Fire Chronicle. The story is about 3 kids who are on a quest to find 3 magical books, known as the Books of Beginning. However, my fears were laid to rest once I started reading the book as there were enough references, in the beginning, itself for me to get an idea as to what transpired in Book 1. The Fire Chronicle is Part 2 of ‘The Books of Beginning’ series by John Stephens.Ĭonsidering that I hadn’t read part 1, ‘The Emerald Atlas’, I was apprehensive whether I would be able to successfully follow the plot and if it would affect the way I would perceive the book in the end. While some may not like fantasy novels, I find that they have the capacity to let you escape from the chains of reality and make you believe, at least for the time that you are reading the book that magical things can happen. Otherwise, the story would not come out well and the reader will not enjoy the book at all. Not only does it require imagination on the part of the author, he/she should also be able to translate it onto paper effectively so that the readers will be able to imagine the same thing. Fantasy fiction is a tricky thing to write.
