the legend of the sight continues (1/1 people found this helpful)
when i finished the sight i didn't relise there was going to be another book after so i was very excited when i saw this book on amazon a few months ago, this book contains more amazing writing from David clement-davies (well what did you expect it to contain?) this is just as good as the sight and not at all Similar. once again the story line is full of surprise but not random. this book is about Fell (surprise surprise) and has another amazing cover , as you can see, i was very pleased with the amount of writing this book has in it, the order this series goes in is: Firebringer, The Sight and Fell. if you have not read The sight yet then you need to read it before this book, you do not, however need to have read Firebringer to be able to read The Sight, althorugh i suggest you do.
Brilliant (2/2 people found this helpful)
Really great read! Different emphasis from The Sight and Firebringer, as also explores human characters and follows their personal stories. Not the blockbuster the sight was, however still written with the same power and amazing descriptions. The continuity and reference back to The Sight made me smile, as did the appearance of some of the old characters. Although only a sentence reference, the lines about a fleck of green and a courage deep as despair made the book believable and also fostered a sense of comradeship with the first book. A sequel well worth the wait.
So worth the wait! (5/5 people found this helpful)
The Sight was, of course, amazing, although it did seem to drag on a little. Fell is less "epic" than its predecessor although it's just as good, perhaps better. It explores Fell's character after all he's been through in The Sight, his guilt, his darkness and his grief, and it ties together loose ends you may not have even noticed in the first book.
Those who've read Firebringer or The Sight (or both) will be familiar with Clement-Davies' faultless powers of description. But it's the philosophical thoughts and judgements that really shine in this story, and you can see the author trying to explain to himself why Man is the way he is. It's also uplifting in that the story seems to decide that one day Man might realise that he has the ability to right what he did wrong, and to be at peace at last with Nature.
The story wasn't predictable at all. Expect several twists and relevations involving both new and old characters. In fact, the introduction of old characters sometimes had me grinning because the author had made them so brilliant in The Sight, and it was good to be reading about them again.
So, basically, if you read The Sight, you really should read this wonderful sequel.
