Obernewtyn

How scary to think this could be our future generations, with an easily believable plot Obernewtyn made a believer of me! The skill of Isobelle Carmody's writing is unbelievable especially considering she began this piece in high school. For any fan of post-apocalyptic style disasters this book would definitely appeal especially with the slight twist any person would love to call their own.

the first in the obernewtyn chronicles its the story of elspeth in a new millenium were a war has ruined and divided the world as we know it in a small setting of the land thats left a new law and order has taken over ruthless with enough power to rule and to say what lives or dies she known as a misfit bcause of a unmistakable power to see inside peoples minds. she is taken by a faction feared by all that experiments on people like herself to the mountains were she finds many with unusual abilitys as herself in a setting that for a while is peaceful she runs into selma cameo matthew and dameon and with help from a cat called maruman finds she is written in animals myth to destroy the one thing that destroyed the land in the first place. finding a new place reason for living and a new world that can actually be peaceful and with reason to hope she is called to the mountains. it is the first in 4 more to be written in the saga it is one of 6 of my favourite fantasy books isobelle carmody is a genius with the originality and her writing is by me and my sisters in the quality youll love it and go on to the next three i give it ten out of ten and i have read it 7 times since it was released

This is the first book in one of the best serires I have ever read. It tells the story of Elspeth Gordie, a young woman born with amazing abilities, into a world where such abilities are considered to be evil. I first read it in primary school, and since then I have read it almost ten times. This is the book which made me read so many other post-apocalyptic novels, and I never get tired of rereading it. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading.

Set in a subtle world after a great war and everything has regressed and the past has become nothing more than a legend. with radiation everywhere people are starting to mutate and are popping up with some interesting talents. only thing is that a group of priestlike and government like people are trying to eradicate any that have a hint of being tainted. the only hope is to be sent to obernewtyn but not much since the stories say that whoever goes there nevers comes back. this story is a surprising hit. well written with a unique view on what has been usually overdone. I loved the series and as you go on the books get thicker and you still can't put them down even if you have to stay up the whole night.

I am a huge fan of this whole series. I started reading them when I was in high-school, many moons ago, and have recently re-read them. They still have the same magic as they did all those years ago. Obernewtyn follows the story of a young girl in a post-holocaust world. This girl has a number of gifts, which sets her apart from others. Its about her journey towards the acceptance of her gifts, but its wrapped up in an adventure across strange lands, meeting may different people and creatures. Great teen fiction, but I also say adults will still like it too. Especially if you like a bit of fantasy.
