Relation Conducive To Books The Fade

A subterranean world of vast caverns, underground seas, crystalline forests. A civilisation born of darkness, in darkness, protected by shadows. A city of merchants, whose eyes have turned upward to the surface, where the lethal light of day beats down on their world. A conspiracy so vast that it will swallow them all . . . A stunningly original fantasy from a multi-award winning author. With a beautiful baroque world, sharp characterisation and Chris Wooding's trademark insight into the fantasy genre, the dawning of Halflight is an event more than worth waiting for.

Assess Based On Books The Fade

I hated this book. It's been a while since a book has made me *feel* so much! It tore me right apart. Twice. I can barely describe how miserable I'm feeling right now.The funny thing is, I've always criticized stories with pleasant, happy endings ~ mocking them because they're just not 'realistic' enough. In real life there's no happy endings, right? Things die and fade away and you're going to experience pain. (view spoiler)[ I suppose I should've guessed from the title that she was going to

Promising setting - not done really that well.Main Problem: It's a world within caves - and it's nearly never dark, it's definitely never claustrophobic (or agoraphobic, by the way), there is no strategic thinking in 3 dimensions (mind you, underground there is not just 4 directions, there's up and down too. Not so with Wooding. It's so not three-dimensional, it's nearly one-dimensional. So to say).Noone who ever was in a real cave can find that haunting experience here.It just gives the overall

This isn't the type of book I'd usually read, so I wasn't sure what to expect from it. I liked the description of it, and it sounded quite promising. It turned out to be okay. It wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. I really enjoyed reading about the difference between all the tribes, both underground and aboveground. Oran had a very distinct voice which made her feel very real. Unfortunately, I didn't find the book all that engaging. It moved pretty slow and I thought the chapters counting

View #1 One Star...I did NOT like it. Why? A four-star author does some great prep work, then writes a two-star story that is almost not good. An insightful author writes some good words and ideas while the story walks a center-line between OK and UNREMARKABLE. Things get better after a while. I am starting to like this...no, I guess I'm wrong...The publisher has used toxic smelling ink or paper, so I am offended by the odor emitting from my 312 page paperback copy, and I see the story is just

I was walking up and down in the bookstore with the need to read something. The Fade did not catch my eye - neither the title nor the cover seemed interesting. Eventualy, more bored than interested I did look at it. The back cover promised a great conspiracy, but I have learned not to expect too much - it is very hard to write a good conspiracy or intrigue.I had a look at page one to see if I would even enjoy the author's style. The writing was fast paced and I quickly found myself halfway down

Ive enjoyed two of Chris Woodings series, the Firely-goes-Steampunk adventures in the Tales of the Ketty Jay series and the Japanese-themed epic fantasy series The Braided Path. In between those two series he also wrote a standalone fantasy novel set in a world of underground caverns where civilisations are engaged in a long war from supremacy far beneath a surface that is so hostile life can barely survive there. The novel starts literally in the middle of the story as Orna, a highly skilled

I. LOVED. THIS. BOOK. This was one of my top 3 books I read in 2008. Stunning, gripping, riveting action sequences... emotionally real people. Everyone should be honoured to read something by Mr. Wooding. He is my new English novelist boyfriend after all. ;)*This book made me automatically buy several other books of Mr. Wooding's... none of which, at this time in late 2009, I have read yet. I'm savouring them.
