5.0 out of 5 stars Atmospheric novel should make huge impact, 13 Jun 2004
By A Customer
The author creates a superb atmosphere, as if the reader herself is being lifted gently through the mysterious frozen mists that float in and out of this frightening and beautiful book, drawing the reader gently, yet with an intense sense of foreboding, into the story. An unfamiliar place in an unfamiliar time is described which is nevertheless rooted firmly in an England long past. The theme of science verses religion is unpicked precisely as we get right inside the minds of an array of pious AND pioneering characters. A strongly themed book can die without the most important ingredient to a childrens/young adults novel: story. The plot here is tight and fast moving, the story riveting and the characters who play it out are some of the best realised in children's fiction. Absolutely brilliant stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read the book!, 15 Mar 2005
By Chantal Lyons (Kent, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is an impressive read. It's very easy to get into, and very hard to get out of. For a start I've never read another book where birds are worshipped and revered. It is also atmospheric, and although no other book has ever scared me, this one managed to once. It's a very descriptive and entrancing...definetly worth buying!
