Ironhand (Stoneheart Trilogy, Book 2)

De: Charlie Fletcher

Narrado por: Jim Dale

Now that George Chapman has upset the fragile truce between the warring statues of London, he has been drawn into a war that will test his mettle. He and Edie, a glint who can see the past, may have succeeded in their quest to find the Stoneheart, but their journey is far from over.

Edie and the Gunner, a statue of a World War I soldier, have been captured by the Walker, and it's up to George to save them. But first he must deal with the three strange veins made of marble, bronze, and stone that have begun to grow out of his hand and curl around his wrist. Legend has it that unless he successfully completes three challenges, the veins will continue up his forearm and eventually pierce through his heart.

As George struggles to find the strength to face the choice he has made, to take the Hard Way, he is determined to use his power for good - even as others wish to harness it for its great potential for evil.

Story was all over the place but a great ending

This second book in the trilogy was a let down after the first one. There were some great parts and a thrilling ending, however it struggled to keep all the plot and all of the characters moving as one.

Finally it all Clicks together

I am so happy I started this second book immediately after the first one. It really brought together the story of the layers in London and how the stone facades, gargoyles and statues all work together and bring harmony and workablity to the city. I love the way the George and Edie push and pull each other and always look out for each other without actually saying it. Cute book and easy read looking forward to book three

Really well done.

Our family listened to this story on a long trip and we all enjoyed it. We were sorry when it was over and look forward to the next installment. We are big Potter fans so it was like seeing an old friend to hear Jim Dale again.

I love this series

This series is second in my heart only to Harry Potter. I listen over and over next to a browser so that I may see images of the statues in London.
I only wish it were longer!

From boy to manchild!

Don't forget to look up you should always look up when everything else looks clear when you feel like everything's out to get you!
