Cookie Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Apologies if theres another thread but I couldn't find it. I've only read The Merlin Conspiracy by this auther but really enjoyed it. Has anyone else read anything by her and if so what recomendations would you give for me to read next by her? Thanks in advance:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fi. Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 You have to read the Chrestomanci books, the first book is Charmed Life Also try Howl's Moving Castle, Castle In The Air and House Of Many Ways or the Dalemark books starting with Cart and Cwidder! She's one of my favourite authors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 I've just added these to my wish list. They will be making their way to me soon. Thanks Fi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fi. Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 No problems, you should also add Fire & Hemlock and Hexwood to your list - hope you enjoy them Oh, seeing as you've read The Merlin Conspiracy you should also try Deep Secret which is set in the same universe and was actually written about 6 years before TMC!

frankie Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I've only read Fire and Hemlock by Wynne Jones but I absolutely loved it. I read it in 2008 and unfortunately didn't write a review on it, so I have to say I remember very little of it, but I remember being in awe of the book. It was so atmospherical. Does anyone know which books by Wynne Jones would be the closest in style and theme as F&H, I've been meaning to read something else by her for years but I've never known which book(s) to try?

Athena Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I've only read Howl's Moving Castle, that was great (love the film too). I haven't read any of her other books so I can't say anything about them. I don't know Fire & Hemlock, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Howl's Moving Castle seems to be a popular book by Wynne Jones so maybe I could try that Thanks Athena! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I second Howl's Moving Castle! Both the book and the movie are awesome. It's actually the first of a trilogy, but I don't believe that they are particularly connected (they focus on different characters and different adventures), so if you only wanted to read the first one, that should be no problem. I enjoyed the first one enough that I hope to read the others eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I didn't know it was a trilogy! I'll have to get around to reading the other two sometime then, thanks . (I loved the film too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKHolmes Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I loved Darklord of Derkholm and Deep secret. I've read quite a few by her, but these ones are my favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
