I first read this years ago, and now, having re-read it, like it even more. My favorite character is Peth, an ancient insect-being who leads Westerly and Calliope with all his heart and life. If I could meet a book character, Peth is whom I'd choose. ( ) I wish I had read this when I was younger, or maybe not right in the middle of a reading frenzy. I kept waiting and reading on for when the action and excitement would finally begin, but it was only until the last chapter that I felt anything substantial. I focused too much on reading into the lines because I was so desperate to connect with the characters (which never happened, disappointingly). I don't think I'll read this one again. Maybe when I'm super old or something, if it's still floating around then.... Cally pushes herself through a mirror to escape an endless, unearthly voice. Westerly escapes his pursuers through a hidden doorway. They each find themselves in another world, where magic and thought have power beyond their imagining. This is very much a coming of age adventure story, full of chases and near-escapes, but it is told in such beautiful language that I found myself re-reading the descriptions of the countryside. This is the first time I've read Seaward. Don't know how it would have struck me when I was a teen because I turned 29 the year it was first published. It reminds me a little of George MacDonald's Lilith, but not as dark. Cally and Westerly are good people. I liked Lugan, Ryan, and Peth, too. I might have felt sorry for Lady Taranis if she didn't create her own trouble. Stonecutter was a selfish twit. The origin of the People was... fitting. Although written for young adults, it's well worth reading for those of us adults who won't let that label stop us from enjoying a good book. If you're one of the readers who share my disappointment with the end of the Dark is Rising pentalogy or sequence), don't worry. The end of Seaward didn't disappoint. David Wiesner is the artist for the cover which shows Lugan with the wooden box in one hand and the knotted red cloth. A golden dragon and Snake are behind him. Within his open cloak we see the sea, the white wall with the gates, and the Lady Taranis. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

West and Cally, who speak different languages and come from different countries thousands of miles apart, are wrenched by catastrophe out of reality into a perilous world through which they must travel toward the sea. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
