Format:Hardcover
Rail and Moa are thiefs in Orokos, an island plagued by probability storms that change and disrupt the lives of its citizens. They find a way to break out of their poverty, and this leads them into a life of danger and adventure.
Beautifully written by Wooding (as ever), the setting and characters are iconic and original. A good half-way house between Wooding's teen and adult fantasy books. Highly recommended.

This is the first (and will be the only book by) Chris Wooding that I have read, and as the title suggests, I found the book boring and tasteless. The storyline could have been a lot more developed and perhaps a lot more like how teenagers act. The main characters in this book act like little kids on a grown-up's adventure.
The first few pages looked promising, but I lost interest very quickly after that. The sympathy for Vago is very drab in the novel, and the idea for the ending was good, it lacked real depth. The ending was over very quickly, and this book just doesn't compare with many other dystopian-style novels.

Not a particularly long book, but its well written and enjoyable.
Convinced me to buy another book by the same author which also wasnt too bad

Wilde? Please! Wooding an imaginative genius
This is another fantastic book by Wooding, although i must say that it does not narratively compare to some of his other books, it is still a work of genius. Read more
