Product Description

Product Description

On his sixteenth birthday, Thorn Jack steals a curious crystal from the Treasury of a neighbouring settlement in his coming of age rite-of-passage. Returning home, he finds that his younger sister has been kidnapped. He sets out to find her with Racky Jagger, an enigmatic but wordly-wise individual. Their way leads through Judy Wood, a place of mystery and ill-repute. When fifteen-years-old Jewel Ranson's father, a travelling draper, is murdered at a fair, she sets out to avenge him. Accompanied by Rainy Gill, a juggler, she journeys to Harrypark where she becomes involved in a bloodthirsty wager. As she travels, Jewel discovers that she has been gifted with unusual powers. After many colourful adventures and encounters, their separate quests lead Thorn and Jewel to a momentous meeting - and the discovery of a common enemy...

4.0 out of 5 stars What happened to our world?, 4 April 2005
By R. Hughes (Harlech, North Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Jewel and Thorn (Book of Lowmoor) (Paperback)
I found the world of Jewel and Thorn, with its six inch tall humans riding rats and living amid the wreckage of the age of the giants (us 'normal' humans) fascinating, both because Richard Poole has created a believable but different world and also because I was caught up in trying to decide what had happened to 'our' world. Where had we gone? How come our buildings were left for our successors to scramble in? What cataclysm had caused The Barrens (desert-like mysterious areas which are visited at your peril, offering hard going, apparitions and real dangers)? And if some animals had been left (rats and rabbits in particular), why no dogs, cats or cows? This is the first book of a trilogy, so I will have to wait for the next two volumes to appear and must contain my impatience till then. Till then, too, we must wait to see what becomes of the relationship between Jewel and Thorn, who take the whole of the first book to meet. Plenty of answers wanted - and well worth waiting for.

4.0 out of 5 stars A series to watch out for, 14 Jun 2005
By Antonio Pineda (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Jewel and Thorn (Book of Lowmoor) (Paperback)
"Jewel and Thorn" is the first volume in "The Lowmoor Trilogy". It is the story of a well-travelled trader's daughter (Jewel) and a daring villager who has just come of age (Thorn). When fate deals them both a cruel blow, they leave their old life behind and start on a journey of self-discovery that would lead to their fateful meeting.

When her father is murdered, Jewel abandons her trading life to find those responsible and make them pay. At around the same time, Thorn's sister disappears and he leaves the safety of his village to track down the kidnappers.

For much of the book we follow two separate adventures. The odd-numbered chapters deal with Thorn's attempt to rescue his sister while the even-numbered chapters are concerned with Jewel's quest for revenge. This treatment could easily have resulted in a disjointed story but Richard Poole handles it well and delivers a flowing and exciting series opener that will satisfy those who like quests, mysteries and the like (whatever their age).

Poole manages to end every chapter with a cliffhanger and skilfully develops both Jewel and Thorn into well-rounded characters that readers get to care about in equal measures. Both meet new friends and enemies and face dangers and betrayals along the way. Half the fun is guessing when they will meet and in what circumstances, and when their paths eventually cross, readers are rewarded with an ending that promises of even more exciting adventures to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars The start of a great series!, 15 Feb 2007
This review is from: Jewel and Thorn (Book of Lowmoor) (Paperback)
'Jewel and Thorn' is the start of one of the most clever and most compelling plots I have ever read. Its one of those great books that you can't put down, Richard Poole gets straight to the point with no unnecessary parts and every part of the story fits perfectly.

The book begins with Jewel's father being murdered and with Thorn's sister being kidnapped by the same duo (although I won't tell you who!) and although Jewel and Thorn don't know each other, at the end of the book they meet and set off on a quest which continues into 'the brass key' and 'the iron angel'.

An excellent read, not one to miss!
