This is an amazing read!! I bought it a few days ago, and I think it's one of the best books I've read! Honestly. It's interesting, there's twists, mysteries, adventure, some laughs and some scary bits... everything really a good book could have!!
It's the first in a trilogy - 'The Wind on Fire' trilogy, I haven't read the second or third books yet, but I'm hoping they're just as good!

It's set in another world and the main characters come from a city called Aramanth. I won't tell you much more, but the main characters and Kestrel, Bowman and Mumpo.

I recommend you go out and buy it straight away!!!! XD
That is unless you've already read it! Obviously. Has anyone else read it or the rest of the trilogy?? :)

They start out great, but eventually they just get too confusing for me to comprehend. I don't think the writing style is really all that great, I don't think that you should have to make a conscious effort to understand what's going on in a story.

Oh yeahs, and I named my albino hamster Sisi, after a character you'll read about at a later time.

This one of the few book series I found to be dull beyond measure. The style was terrible, and they were barely gripping enough to keep me reading.

I agree with Penguin Grenade.

I first read Wind Singer a couple years ago and i thought it was great. I then read Slaves of the Mastery and was a little confused by it. And then i purchased Firesong when it came out and I was totally lost. But then again, I haven't read these books in a while.

I've got the first book, and I borrowed the other two off my friend. It was an alright read - nothing fantastic, but nothing horrible either.


Gone, forever.

Wow, I actually quite enjoyed that trilogy, I've read them several times :P
And I didn't find them hard to understand at all.

I've read the first book, and found the writing style to be quite simple...kinda like Skellig in a way. I enjoyed them, and bought Slaves of the Mastery about 2 months ago...but I kinda lost interest and it's left there, waiting for me to read them. I'll try and force myself to read later...but Loamhedge is eyeing me suspiciously...

Same here. I don't think they're hard to understand ... well I've only read the first one so far ... my friend says the second isn't so good though

Interesting. I didn't really like the first one but, for unknown reasons, I read the others and thought they were better. Nothing fantastic just good.

I like the author because he wrote 'Gladiator' the film, but other than that....Mumpo rules, I still have this tendancy to call him mongo, ah well.

I prefer the 2nd to the first. But I tend to do that with series.

I've only read the first two, and I found the 2nd one easier to understand. The 1st one got confusing around the middle part.

that's me.

I absolutely loved the first one. But the second and third ones I found a little too spiritual/emotional for my tastes. I like books that keep emotional content subtle, and I found William Nicholson's writing a little sentimental for my tastes. Still, the characters were very believable, and the philosophical, world-scale implications were huge.
