I've got Shade's Children to read. Is it any good? I love Garth Nix. You should check out Jeremy de Quidt's Toymaker for a pretty gruesome YA story. |
You know what they say about imitation...
Yes,
Shade's Children is really good. I love Garth Nix too but sometimes I get the impression that he was a little rushed when he wrote, e.g.
Abhorsen.
Shade's Children wasn't like that. Hideously dark, though. I'll have a look at
Toymaker if I'm feeling brave one day.
Thanks Grizzgreen and hopewrites for your comments. hopewrites -- could you put your finger on what didn't work for you at the start? Was it the tense issues with 'the mad I'd marry' or was it more widespread?
