Format:Paperback
I thought this was an enthralling book. Though it's set in Australia, that fact doesn't dominate the story. The story revolves around a young boy, Sal, who travels with his father. They arrive in Fundlery seeking Lodo, a mystic who has a young apprentice called Shilly, a girl around Sal's age. References to "The Change" remain loose, but they seem to be psychic or magic powers that some kids have, and some (like Shilly) can learn to channel. Sal doesn't realise he has strong Change powers until he reaches Fundelry and meets Lodo. Meanwhile, the Sky Wardens are searching for Sal and his special powers, and are on their way to Fundelry. When they do arrive, Sal finds out the truth about his father, and his past.
I really liked the believable characters in this book, and thought it was a great read. I thought it was a suitable book for young teenagers through to adults to read.

Sean Williams creates a strangely familiar otherworld, both mystic and mundane: one of beaches and sand dunes, of deserts and barren hills, of scrub and stony plains - subtly changed and enlivened by mystery. Therein unfolds nothing less than a damn good story - so suspenseful that the book is hard to put down.

He meets a girl who does not have his talent, but has the skill and understanding to help him use it, and with their mentor's help, work out what they need to do. A

Why not in the USA??
13 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback
Too bad this series is only available overseas because Sean Williams is a very good writer and this whole alternate universe is well done. The first three books have never been published here and of the final four, only three have and that fairly recently.
Well worth reading, if you've read any of the Books of the Cataclysm because it introduces some of the main characters and sets up the "world as it is" which will recurr in the 2nd Cataclysm volume.
Very nice fantasy series.
