This was a pretty good, normal old fantasy. A nice way to pass the time, with interesting characters and a plot with open ends for future books. Claidi is a much-abused slave in a great palace known as the House. She believes this is what her life will be, until a handsome and interesting prisoner named Nemian is captured one day. When the chance to escape with him is given, Claidi seizes on it and begins a quest into the unexplored land known as the Waste. There, she will encounter many different tribes and cities of people, some friendly, some dangerous. But when they finally reach Nemian's city and its Wolf Tower, will all of Claidi's hopes come crashing down? The characters are a bit one-dimensional, but enjoyable all the same. Claidi grows and changes realistically, although sometimes she's a bit unbelievable in her ignorance and silliness. The plot and setting definitely have quite a few original bits, and the end is left open for a lot more interesting adventures, where I'll hopefully get to know more about these characters and this world. An interesting young adult novel. I've just finished rereading it because I couldn't remember what it was about since I read it so long ago. A young servant is whisked away to a different city, away from the House and only place she's ever known. She learns the hard truth about people and life and her journey is just beginning. Written in first person as if it were a journal. Sometimes the grammar isn't correct, but then again it's written like a dairy so I can't complain too much. Good read for kids. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
