2008-06-05 An Incredible, But Often Sad, Reading Experience!

David Clement-Davies follows up his excellent first novel, Fire Bringer, with another wonderful multilayered animal fantasy. The Sight explores the landscape of our fairy tales and nightmares in the company of animals -- primarily wolves -- whose capacity for loyalty and savagery mirror our own. Clement-Davies has created a plot that is rich with suspense, pathos, and tenderness; and has developed characters that will stay with this reader forever (e.g., Larka, Hutttser, Palla, Fell, Bran, Kar and Morgra to name a few). The Sight is more than just an excellent book -- it is an excellent reading experience. You'll find yourself filled with joy and, all too often, with pain as you feel that you are right there with these wolves going through their incredible journey. I very highly recommend The Sight, which should have wide appeal across age and intellectual levels. Do yourself a favor and put The Sight (as well as Clement-Davies' Fire Bringer) high up on your reading list.
