Sorcery Rising...

[Pil]

...a debut from Jude Fisher.

If the name rings a bell, you might have already purchased one of Jude Fisher's books. She most recently compiled the 'Visual Companion' for The Two Towers. It's a great book! :read:

However, i was extremely happy to discover that Jude not only does this kind of film guide book, she also writes her own books. :p

Her debut book is called 'Sorcery Rising'. It's the first book published in the series she is writing called 'Fool's Gold'. :king:

It's a fabulous read...it's a bit fantasy based, lord of the rings'y type settings, viking and saxon influences, that sort of thing. :)

When i finished i was dying to continue the series....unfortunately the next books are not yet published and the book ends on such a cliff hanger! :o lol However, despite an agonising ending this book thoroughly deserves a read by all. It's a combination of love, action, passion and gives a men and women's perspective on situations. :thumbs:

If this sounds like a book you would enjoy then please take a look at it some time. veryhappy

I would probably recommend this book more for young adults and adults, 15+ maybe, because of some of the content, but it isn't really that bad. ;)

If anyone else has read Sorcery Rising or would like more info on the plot etc. then post here and i'll be happy to chat about it! :hooray:

You can probably tell how much i love this book..... roflmao

Searched it up at my online bookstore, and its not in norwegian yet. Sounds interesting, tho, please tell me more! From your enthusiasm I gather this is a book one might want to own in a hardback version...?

[Bonos-Girl]

she lied in her last sentence! lol

[Cuiel Rilwen]

...and where has she gone anyway? Skiing?

[Bonos-Girl]

nope...just busy...she had an art mock todsay...another tomorrow...and yesterady the teacher told her all her prep was useless and she had to do like 5 or 6 more pieces....she'll bew here soon.....

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Poor gal, whats with this teacher?!!! Hope she manages, I've been there!:rolleyes:

[Bonos-Girl]

lol..well...she recovered from her art exam ok...but seems to have forgotten about this thread so i'll remind her!

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Talking about Jude Fisher, what became of the piccies from Pils meat with her and Sibley?lol

[Bonos-Girl]

hmm...i'll ask about that too....i think quite a few people might be interested in them.

[Cuiel Rilwen]

I should think so too...guess her head will be out of the clouds now that her exams are over!:grin:

[Bonos-Girl]

nope...she's been told she needs to redo more prep work.....apparently none of what she'd done was 'up to standard' which is ridiculous cos they all looked really good.....

this is why i don't do art! lol

[Cuiel Rilwen]

...and the same reason why I didn't persue an education as an interior dedorator or a furniture designer! After 3 years of cabinetmaking I didn't make the exams because of some pedantic sensors idiotic decision, and I soon understood that the majority of art- teachers are like that- they let their own taste rule when deciding whats good and whats not! verymad pfbbt

[Mirkgirl]

um are we talking books here? ;)

[Cuiel Rilwen]

We were, but the key person has disappeared, so we're really talking about where she's gone to, and why!lol

[Bonos-Girl]

lol....i keep telling her that she needs to come here but i'm never online at the same time so i can't remind her at the right time!

[Pil]

And......here i am! lol

I'm SOOO sorry that i keep forgetting to come here! BG's reports of my art life have been very accurate...my teacher likes nothing i do so i have to keep doing more and more to attempt to get something she does like! :angry: :rolleyes: :p

Anyway...sorcery rising! :read: :hooray: :) Indeed Cuiel, as a book on it's own Sorcery Rising is indeed worthy of hardback purchase...but i'm personally going to wait until the whole series of Fool's Gold is out. Then i'll buy the box set! :) I'm going to write a letter to Jude Fisher...encouraging her to continue with the series...and to tell her how great her book is! :thumbs:

On the topic of the photos...i have got them developed...they keep travelling to and from school in my folder with me but i need to find a lunchtime when BG and i can get to the school computer room together (so she can show me how the scanner works! lol) I will endeavour to arrange such a meeting in the near future and i'll let u know when they appear in the events thread! :)

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Sounds great, Pil! I guess it will be a while before the book comes out in norwegian, but do you think the language is too difficoult for me to read? I'm normaly very patient, but I'm very curious about this item!:grin:

[Pil]

I should think i would be ok judging by how good your english is! :o :thumbs: Seriously though, u couldn't tell u didn't speak english as a first language! :)

There is equal amounts of description and more action-based parts to the book, so language ranges from chapter to chapter. :p

Would you like me to put together a non-spoiler summary of the plot? :read:

[Cuiel Rilwen]

Are you kidding?!!! I would love that! You're so kind.... and thanks for the compliment!:grin: Are you sure you can fit it into your busy schedule? I don't want to give you an extra load of work, so you'll have to promise to say so if its too much!:thumbs:

[Bonos-Girl]

lol......she seems to have fogotten about this thread agin...ill go tell her...

[Cuiel Rilwen]

A wee bit easily distracted, that Pil...thats an artist for ya! What would I do without you!lol Good thing I'm a patient person!

[Pil]

:blush:

Sorry....again....lol

Cuiel i would be honered to put together a summary....i'll put it up sometime next weekend for you. :)

[Cuiel Rilwen]

lol not to worry hon, I'm gonna be gone for 3 days, (businesstrip), and you don't have to rush anyway! I'm just happy you'd do it, thanks a mill!:)

[Cuiel Rilwen]

I've just finished the first volume, in english, and I thought it difficoult to read at first...but I improved as I went along and at the end I was feeling like what is is over! I gotta get the next one like soon!:p
