Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Wyrmeweald (2)
From the creators of the Edge Chronicles comes the second installment in the fantastic tale of Wyrmeweald! Winter is a dangerous time in the wyrmeweald. Once a magnificent wilderness, the home of the dragon-like wyrmes has become an icy wasteland. Brutal battles rage between the evil kith, intent on ravaging all that they can, and the wyrme-friendly kin. Young Micah is safe in a winter den, sheltered from the intense cold, with kin Eli and the beautiful, dangerous wryme-rider Thrace. Thrace aches to leave the den and fly through the skies on her whitewyrme, but Micah knows they are safer indoors. Meanwhile, a brutal assassin approaches, fueled by the invigorating liquor known as bloodhoney and seeking vengeance. Micah and his friends are being hunted--and nowhere in the wyrmeweald is truly safe. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This is the second volume in the Wyrmeweald trilogy, and while we continue to follow Eli, Micah and Thrace's stories, we are also introduced to new characters, which have an impact on all their lives. Apart from increasing the tension by setting the winter caller on a relentless pursuit, Paul Stewart also introduces further layers in addition to the theme of colonisation and hunting/exploitation that appeared in the first volume (religious fanaticism and drug consumption, for example) and makes some characters morally more ambiguous. As with Returner's Wealth, the occasional passage containing descriptive violence and sexual references makes the book not suitable for younger readers.
Again, the story is enhanced by Chris Riddell's distinctive and atmospheric black-and-white illustrations at the beginning of each chapter.
I'm looking forward to find out how the story concludes. ( )
