Teenage Tal lives within a sprawling castle in a world of constant darkness. Tal has a lot of problems: his father is missing, his mother is sick, and unknown enemies are trying to destroy his family. Solving these problems will require Tal to venture to the unknown outside world, and his survival will depend on a blood-pact with a girl who wants to kill him. Wacky hijinks ensue. I really liked Nix's Old Kingdom trilogy, which featured courageous heroines, swashbuckling adventures, and zombies.10/30Tal is a boy and he is trying to climb the seventh tower to get a sunstone. But he has to steal it for his family or else there family will not survive. When Tal is climbing the tower he hears someone and try's to hide. His shadow helps shadows here are different they become different things to help there master out. And when he looks down he sees its his little brother but before he could say something a shadow comes and takes his little brother away. Seeing that he could not help his
Let me start off by saying that I really enjoy series by Garth Nix. I always find it refreshing to read his books because his ideas and the fantasy worlds that he builds, are always extremely creative, much more so than many young adult and children's fantasy adventure series that now glut up the market due to the massive success of Harry Potter. Garth Nix's fantasy novels also always contain at least a hint of "darkness," I suppose I would say, some sort of complexity or abstract ideas about
The concepts of light and culture were fun to read about. In one scene he uses beams of colored light to play crystal trees. It creates a beautiful scene along with a beautiful moving sound.What I wasn't a fan of was that many of my questions weren't answered. I'm sure it has to do with the fact that there are many books in the series. I just didn't feel I got a good answer to any of my questions. I think the second book will change that.
I have been a fan of Garth Nix ever since I read the Abhorsen books, and while I have enjoyed the other books he's written, I have to admit that none of them have the same spark as the Abhorsen books. At least, not for me. I haven't read all of his books yet, but I'm working my way through them steadily! The Fall introduces us to a young boy named Tal, on the verge of graduating to the next phase of his life, but things go horribly wrong. His Dad is missing, presumed dead, and with him was the
Even when tackling material for very young readers, Nix is bringing his A game. While not quite as balls-to-the-walls crazy as Keys to the Kingdom, there's still a lot of imagination at play here, done with excellent economy of storytelling. Opening in a 7-towered castle under a permanent veil of pure darkness, populated by domineering sorcerers who manipulate light and bind creatures of shadow to serve them, Tal is about to come of age, when his father disappears. Without his father's sunstone,
Good but just a chapter of a much larger adventure. Looking forward to book two!
