Book review of The Firework Maker’s Daughter

The story is about a firework maker called Lalchand and his daughter, Lila, who also wanted to be a firework maker.
One day Lila runs away to get the last ingredient needed to be a successful firework maker. In a volcano Lila finds the royal sulphur (the last ingredient) but she was in danger of burning. Her friend Chulak, and the white elephant Hamlet, save her from the flames of the lava by giving her some fireproof water from the goddess of the lake. Later on there was a big firework display.
Lalchand was arrested for helping the white elephant escape from a slave house. So the king told Lila and her father, Lalchand, to enter the firework display competition. If they won the firework display Lalchand would be set free, but if they lost he would be executed. This would be judged by the loudest applause. Fortunately, they had the loudest applause and Lalchand was set free.

What I liked about the book
What I liked about the book was the description about the firework display, because it included all the actions of what the fireworks did, it was especially my favourite part because Lalchand didn’t get executed.

This feature made the book truly more enjoyable. Other writing techniques like not having any foreshadowing. The book keeps you guessing until the very end. Even within the story parts that I had never seen coming, Like releasing the prince. Allowing Alix to run away and eventually return on curiosity.…

    There are many things that I really enjoyed reading in my book. Some of those things would have to be just how accurate everything seemed to be. A good example of this would be how Mrs. Bowen put all of the dates and historical events into the arguments that were held in making the Constitution. Another thing that I liked was just how the author made me…

    One of the most interesting parts about the novel is the way in which it is organized. The book has 42 chapters, each consisting of about 8 to 10 pages, and each telling a different story. While that alone, obviously, does not make the novel unique, the fact that the…

    The book is told in a circuitous way; I found the jumping back and forth in time a bit distracting, but more off-putting was the way Xeones forecasts an event or subplot before narrating it in detail later. Already knowing how Thermopylae turned out, I was hoping for some suspense in the details, but there too Pressfield tells us the end before getting started on the story…

    It had humor, real life events, sadness, and suspense. I would most definitely recommend this novel to someone because although it’s very long, you won’t want to stop reading it. This book will make you wonder, cry, even laugh. It’s a book that I think had great meaning and was put together very well. In my opinion, there is no flaws about this book except how long it is.…

    The literature was very well written and you were able to feel the connection between you and the characters. For example when Will and his father were traveling down the stairwell and came to the levels where the main point of the fire was, you could almost feel the heat like you were right beside them. This helped me imagine what these people in this disaster were going through, it really put what happened in perspective for me. Having these outstanding details helped me understand the severity of this horrible event. There were many parts in the story where you could feel the characters pain or struggle, like when Will tripped over a piece of cement when the tower had collapsed, I could feel the pain that he was going through when he thought he lost his father for ever. I feel like this book could improve if there was a little bit more advanced vocabulary, especially during the very intense moments. I would have also liked to see more of an ending, like what happened when they went to pick up Will's friend from the fire station or what happened when he got home to his mom. Having something at the end like that would have made to story more interesting at the end, not just them getting to safety and then the story ending. Overall this book was very intriguing and well written, and I would definitely read this book…
