I really, really enjoyed the second book of this series Once again Nicholson gives us a somewhat vague criticism of government the second book must be communism, but the first I m not really sure, it was definitely a punishment rewards system though as the backdrop for the story, but I wasn t terribly interested in the precise nature of his philosophical leanings No, once again I found myself completely in love with the characters, Kestrel in particular And yet, glorious as it was, beautiful eve [...]

With all the fuss over The Hunger Games,I was never drawn into actually reading it.Though I blundered into this middle volume in the Wind On Fire trilogy, there is nothing on the cover to indicate this status it seems to me that it presents a very similar but coherent alternate reality as a setting for its young protagonists to acheive moral awareness.The ritual of manaxa,with its combination of lethal grace,wrestling and dancing,provides a far compelling contest than the aimless brutality of [...]

First off, What I didn t likeI absolutely hated like the implication that in order to be beautiful you must also be waif thin I liked Sisi s character to a certain degree, but the message she promoted within the book was wrong, there is no other way of describing it In your quest for that emaciated figure you so desire you must not eat anything for days on end You must not drink anything calorific than water After you have married that all changes, you no longer need to be attractive, you may b [...]

This is officially one of the best books I have ever read and it is certainly in my Top Five Young Adult Books list This book has it all action, adventure, imagination, likeable characters, wonderful worlds and an excellent plot The story takes place five years after the events of The Wind Singer and our protagonists are now 15 years old Aramanth is attacked and the Manth people are taken into slavery by the army of the Mastery.Kestrel Hath is the only living person left behind and she embarks o [...]

This entire series has stayed with me since I was a child, and this is definitely the best installment The world building is still intriguing, but both carefully crafted and narrow than in the previous and following books The kids are grown up and passions of very different types take over, and it s way compelling than you would ve thought And basically, Kestrel She s everything Best young adult female heroine ever, really Flawed, stubborn, rebellious and vicious at times, but with an honest, [...]

Having just recently read the first book in the trilogy, Wind Singer see my review here , my immediate impressions about the second book are well done The author has transitioned from the simpler writing style of Wind Singer to one that is much befitting the age group I believe the books are targeted at The mature circumstances written about are also appropriate given the main characters aging into young adulthood.For me, and I believe for many readers, the outcome of this installment of the t [...]

Slaves of the Mastery, the second novel in the Wind on Fire series was absolutely amazing The story follows many characters including Kestrel, Bowman, the Hath Family, Mumpo, and other new characters It was interesting to see characters grow and develop, especially Bowman, who matured greatly in this novel William Nicholson also added interesting, yet crucial characters to this sequel The Gang, a clan who, in this novel, travelled to the Mastery to wed the flawless Johdila This was such an inter [...]

I read these through 2007 and finished the third book in March 2008 These books are one of the few series of YA fantasy I can think of that are UNIQUE I d never read anything like them Nicholson creates a really intriguing world, and keeps adding interesting new elements in each book He also has great skill at choosing character names I ended up using the Manth wedding vows from this book as one of the readings at our wedding They bring tears to my eyes pretty much every time I read them.

As exciting and insightful as I remembered from first reading it Then depiction of the Singer people was breathtaking and imaginative, just the kind of fantasy a child would love, and the fortitude and loyalty of Kestral and Bowman is just as humbling for an adult reader.

sisi also maybe like a 3.5 5 the next book will probably solidify my feelings about the whole experience a bit better, i hope

Very charming, exciting, and tense The book builds up suspense for the final book in the series

A little about the author William Nicholson was born in 1948, and grew up in Sussex and Gloucestershire The Wind Singer, won the Smarties Prize Gold Award on publication in 2000, and the Blue Peter Book of the Year Award in 2001 He lives in Sussex with his wife, the social historian Virginia Nicholson, and their three children.Authors website williamnicholson Plot summery reviewed I hate school I hate ratings I won t reach higher I won t strive harder I won t make tomorrow better than today The [...]

based on the same society as the first, all you need now is three words love, war and problems.

Mixed feelings It is a better book than the first one, both in terms of the writing itself and in the general structure of the story But one of the things I judges sequels on is how closely related to the first book they are I don t mean that they shouldn t stand alone they should or that they can t be different they can be , but presumably, the events of the first book should shape the characters and events of the second.The weird, ridiculous quality of the first book is completely lost in this [...]

Today begins my walk with you Where you go, I go.Where you stay, I stay When you sleep, I will sleep When you rise, I will rise I will pass my days within the sound of your voice, And my nights within the reach of your hand And none shall come between us.I have no words for this book which would do it justice Nothing in me to capture the wild beauty ofWind on Fire , the stunning characters, the story that flows almost of its own accord directly into your heart I am reminded ofIron Hearted Violet [...]

A brilliant follow up to The Wind Singer, this is the story of a wolf dressed in sheepskin a dictator who seems to have created Eutopia If you thought the Morah were terrifying and really, who doesn t then the Master in this second book will make your blood run cold.Nicholson does not hold back from hard truths and true menace I love the fact that this is a children s book which deals with such complex and interesting moral and philosophical dilemmas I wish current Children s authors would take [...]

I really enjoyed Wind Singer book 1 so was thrilled when this one finally arrived I was not disappointed Although it is a very little darker than the first one, it was still gripping It follows the separate paths of Kess and Bo after they are separated, and the Wind Singers finally make an appearance Bo and the rest of the family are slaves of the Master, while Kess is travelling with a princess on her way to the Mastery to be married The addition of the cat who wants to learn to fly made it per [...]

The sociopolitical commentary that The Wind On Fire series brings to the table is most fully realised here The book considers the cost of a well functioning society and ideas of freedom and slavery.Whilst this is what I took from the book it can be enjoyed purely as a good fantasy fiction read, with telepathic twins and ambiguous impending forces forever in the shadows.

The second installment of the Wind on Fire trilogy is by far my favourite Its alot better than the first in terms of pace and storyline Feels a touch adult, maybe because they burn people alive The strong theme of rebellion is carried into this second book and is added to with slavery, fear and huge charecter growth The way that slaves are brought into the Mastery after their homes are pillaged and razed to the ground but then grow to love their new lives is such a good example of brainwashing [...]

I love this series of books Very insightful towards human nature, especially if you read them than once I will revisit this series whilst I wait for Silver Cage Aveyard to arrive Read twice, to date.

Again not a children s book guys Like the bit view spoiler the mastery starts burning people to death in the monkey cages or when the manacs start tearing each other apart hide spoiler If you want areal social commentary then this si the book for you.Stars 5Ages 14

Far better than book 1 , detailed story

I liked it but I can no longer remember why DI m not entirely sure it was appropriate for children though.

THIS BOOK IS AMAZING spoiler alert I literally didn t have high expectations cause I didn t really get gripped by the first book, but God knows what happened cause I fell in love with this one.I fell deeper in love, like it.I liked the first book, but I m lovin the second.The characters developments are truly thrilling.Mumpo, Kestrel, Bowman, Pinto oh my God, Pinpin has grown so much _ I mean what can I expect this is 5 years after the Wind Singer was restored but still.Like Pinpin was the swee [...]

And so, led by the prophet Moses, I mean Ira, the slaves leave Egypt, I mean the Mastery, and set out on their long walk to Israel, I mean the homeland, which Moses Ira knows she won t enter A hash of biblical analogies see previous updates that, somehow, manages to be a coherent, b immersive, and even c tear inducing Bonus points for averting Beauty Is Never Tarnished, and for growing up the insufferable princess in the process And for not using rape as a casual threat or a plot point Rape As D [...]

I love this series I go back to them every time I run out of library books.My only problem with this book Besides Sisi s eating habits that would surely have killed her by now is a very important fact that is left out.WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MUD PEOPLE the entire city was sacked and burned, and the wind singer with it Did the mud people just get overlooked fair enough, most of the citypeople didn t know they were there at the beginning of the last book, but surely Mumpo and the twins would have men [...]
