Elspeth, love.

What a feeling. What a book. 

I absolutely enjoyed Farseekers. I found Obernewtyn, Book 1, a slower read as it built the world, its rules and characters. 

Farseekers had a lot more action. The plot had a driving sense of urgency and fear. 

I feel Carmody’s writing is so immersive I am inside the world, standing with Elspeth as she navigates through the old way. 

I am continuing my quest to re-read all the books before starting The Red Queen. I pre-ordered the final back and it has sat at the front of my bookshelf for so long, I couldn’t bring myself to see the end of Elspeth’s story. 

Onwards with Ashling.
