Representaion Supposing Books The Fade

A subterranean world of vast caverns, underground seas, crystalline forests. A civilisation born of darkness, in darkness, protected by shadows. A city of merchants, whose eyes have turned upward to the surface, where the lethal light of day beats down on their world. A conspiracy so vast that it will swallow them all . . .



A stunningly original fantasy from a multi-award winning author. With a beautiful baroque world, sharp characterisation and Chris Wooding's trademark insight into the fantasy genre, the dawning of Halflight is an event more than worth waiting for.

Judge Out Of Books The Fade

Couln't finished it, I was too bored.The characters were caricatured. How Orna is so good for being a Cadre women (that is, we don't even know what a Cadre is...)Also, I didn't feel that there was any conflict or trigger to allow the story to make sense. It was like I was reading descriptions all along.Because I don't want to waste time on boring novels while I can use this time for a good one, I have a rule that says that if after 1/5 of the book I'm not intrested, I drop it because it's not

I thought this book was fantastic and for me reminiscent of the time machine by H. G. Wells and China Mieville's bas lag books; all books I love. The distinction between races that live above ground and below, both adapted over hundreds of generations reminded me of Well's time machine, with the political, warring aspects of subterranean life together with an array of individual races with their own cultures reminding me of Mieville's Bas Lag. Whilst Woodings work brought to mind two other

Just can't muster the energy to finish a novel about a character I just don't care about, and who seems completely one-dimensional despite her maternal angst patina ... Done now! Too bad, because I've loved Wooding's other work, but 90 pages in and this hasn't grabbed me at all.ETA: Read some other reviews, so I'm giving this another chance. Let's see what happens!Definitely glad I went back and gave this another chance; Orna ended up being a lot more interesting (and not nearly as all-knowing

View #1 One Star...I did NOT like it. Why? A four-star author does some great prep work, then writes a two-star story that is almost not good. An insightful author writes some good words and ideas while the story walks a center-line between OK and UNREMARKABLE. Things get better after a while. I am starting to like this...no, I guess I'm wrong...The publisher has used toxic smelling ink or paper, so I am offended by the odor emitting from my 312 page paperback copy, and I see the story is just

I walked around the local library waiting for something to jump out at me and then I spotted The Fade. From the first sentence I was hooked on the characters and a world unlike any I have ever read before. I couldn't stop thinking about this book and hated having to go to work when all I wanted to do was stay home and finish the story!The Fade surprised me at every turn, it was unpredictable and I didn't know what would happen next and had no idea how it would end. There were heart-wrenching

The plot is a little predictable, but the world building and characterization are both great. Chris Wooding is a great and vastly under-rated writer.

I. LOVED. THIS. BOOK. This was one of my top 3 books I read in 2008. Stunning, gripping, riveting action sequences... emotionally real people. Everyone should be honoured to read something by Mr. Wooding. He is my new English novelist boyfriend after all. ;)*This book made me automatically buy several other books of Mr. Wooding's... none of which, at this time in late 2009, I have read yet. I'm savouring them.
