Hello dear readers! I am currently beginning The Obernewtyn Chronicles by Isobelle Carmody. I picked up the first one at Target quite some time ago and have finally begun. So far, so good! The Chronicles tell the story of Elspeth, an orphan living in a post-apocalyptic world that categorizes people with “mutations” as Misfits, unfit for interaction with “normal” human society. I am enjoying her story thus far, although I found it a little bit confusing at first. There is a lot of history thrown at you, and because of the odd, unique nature of the world, there is a lot to learn that the reader has to catch up with.
I think I’m going to enjoy the rest of these. The fantasy aspects are great, and I’m finding the plot very different from other fantasy novels I’ve read lately, so it’s refreshing. I’ll be sure to keep you all updated as I continue on with the series!
