How could I have forgotten how wonderful this one is? I don't know why I never re-read it, but it's been on my shelf forever, and I always looked at it warmly, and in fact often said aloud, "Oh, I LOVE that book" but passed it by. Maybe I remembered how very scary it is- and oh, it is. The writing i...
As I said in my review of the first book in this series, Over Sea, Under Stone, it's been so long since I've read this book that a lot of my first impressions of it have changed quite drastically since the first time I read it. And yet, perhaps that's mostly because a change of the way I see things?...
It didn't have any suspense. The old ones could travel in time, so they knew the consequences of their actions, so they wouldn't make any mistake. But it was even worse: Every thing the poor forces of Dark did, was a part of Old Ones' plans. Anyway, the whole idea of everlasting war between Light an...
I don't know what it was, but I did not like this book. At all. The writing was strange; everything happens very fast and there's very little explanation given for a lot of the things that go on. Will, the protagonist, seems to obtain knowledge from seemingly nowhere. Everything moves at a very bris...
While I enjoyed this one more so than the 1st book, I can't truthfully rate it any higher than 3 stars. Though I found the premise interesting and intriguing, I found the writing hard to get into and it took far longer for me to read it than its 200+ called for.
There is pretty much nothing I did not love about this reread, whether it was the hazy fondness of nostalgia or the sheer delight from the story in and of itself. Oh, Will Stanton. I adore him at thirty almost as much as I did at ten. I love how visceral both his fear and wonder are. I love HIS FAMI...
12/24/2010 ** I read this every year around Christmas. The story begins on 12/20 and continues to Twelfth Night (1/6). Though the story is about Will Stanton, the sign-seeker and his quest as the last Old One to gather the Six Signs through which Good can vanquish Evil, it's imbued with the the Vi...
So, I'm going to start this review with a big love letter to my friend Eh!, and then I'll actually talk about this book, so if you want to skip the love-in, that's cool. Eh! mailed me this series when I expressed an almost idle curiosity in it, and I didn't understand until I read it what a powerful...
