Chris Wooding grew up in a small town in Leicestershire, where not much of anything happened. So he started to write novels. He was sixteen when he completed his first. He had an agent by eighteen. By nineteen he had signed his first book deal. When he left university he began to write full-time, and he has been doing it professionally all his adult life.
Now thirty-nine, Chris has written over twenty books, which have been translated into twenty languages, won various awards and been published around the world. He writes for film and television, and has several projects in development.
Chris has travelled extensively round the world, having backpacked all over Europe and North America, Scandinavia, South East Asia, Japan and South Africa. He also lived in Madrid for a time. When he wasn’t travelling on his own, he spent his twenties touring with bands and seeing the UK and Europe from the back of a van.
He also learned not so long ago that his family tree can be traced back to John Milton, author of Paradise Lost, which has no bearing on him whatsoever but it’s kind of interesting anyway.
This was probably one of the most tense-filled parts. I definitely found it hard to put down once I started reading it.
I was glad to see Elani and Peliqua again. I hope that Hochi has finally shaken off his misery and that he'll actually spend some time with Gerdi - who remains firmly one of my favourite characters.
Aurin, Ryushi and Calica is quite a strange love triangle. I have one more part to read - and then it'll be all over. In a way, it's kind of sad.
Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! I can't say anything because everything's a spoiler!!!
Yeah yeah, I know I can hide my review, but what's the fun of writing it then? One thing about this set, books 7, 8, and 9, is that they are written as a trilogy and may as well be one solid book, for each "ends" clearly leading into the next chapter, er, book. Enjoy!
