Customer Reviews

Excellent Read!

When I bought Fell I did not realize that it was book two of the series. I felt like it was absolutely fantastic that I did not feel the need to stop reading it to read Sight first. He wrote this book perfectly where so many write a series where you really need to read the first book, etc... I will read Sight but not until I finish Fell. Fantastic book. I stay up to late reading it! Hard to put it down for sure!

Unputdownable!

In Clement-Davies' sequel to The Sight, Fell proves itself in every way to be at least as unputdownable as its predecessor. Without going into detail about the story and run the risk of "giving anything away," Fell is a thrilling adventure about the lonely wolf, Fell, and a girl looking for answers to the visions that haunt them; and both must overcome their natures to share a journey that will bring their worlds -- animal and human -- to a greater understanding. In telling his masterful tale, Clement-Davies has created a plot that is rich with suspense, pathos, and tenderness; and has enhanced the development of characters the reader came to know (or hate) in The Sight (e.g., Huttser, Palla, Kar, and Morgra to a name a few), as well as introduced several new unforgettable characters. Fell is more than just an excellent book -- it is an excellent reading experience. In reading this book it is important to keep in mind that the book is at least just as much about the new human character, Alina, and her quest to find her real family, as it is about what Fell's life has been like in the years since he left his pack in The Sight. As you'll see from other reviews, some readers are disappointed because they feel the book focuses more on the adventures of Alina and not enough about Fell; whom they perceive of as having a more secondary role in the book. In my opinion, Fell is clearly the dominant character and Clement-Davies' has made the mysterious black wolf a character that will live on in readers' memories for many years to come. If you're like me when you Fell, you'll find yourself filled with joy and with pain as you feel that you are right there with Fell and Alina as they go through their incredible journey, both together and separately. I very highly recommend Fell, which should have wide appeal across age and intellectual levels. If you've read The Sight, do yourself a favor and put Fell high up on your reading list. If you haven't read The Sight, definitely read it first and then read Fell. You'll thank yourself for doing so.

The Best

This is a great book... his best ever so far. This is one of those stories that would make a great movie.

Amazing

I won't lie, I was drawn to this book because of the pretty cover, but within the first 24 hours of owning it, I practically finished half the book! It's an amazing story and worth reading on so many levels!

Among The Very Best

I just want to chime in on a superb read.Clement-Davies has already developed a reader base with Firebringer and The Sight,and Fell just adds to,no,exceeds his great work.I see Richard Adams,Tara Harper,and Anne McCaffery now have a peer in great story telling re.animals and our relationship to them on an intimate level.I sincerely hope that Clement-Davies has a sequel planned for Fell,and it is one of the very few novel of the genre that begs for rereading.
