The slang of the characters in Saga was interesting but for a world that has had 2000 years to develop, it was stuck in the 90s punk stage, which was very odd. The writing sometimes struggles at times, but other times it was very beautiful. The ratio of male to female characters in this book is vastly improved over the last book which I appreciated. Also Ghost was clearly described as black and this had no baring on her life, she was just another person, which is fantastic. I did like the new cast of characters, which was interesting and unique with their own voice.
Thus this book is more of a companion book then a sequel. In the second book it seemed as though the world lived on like the big things that happened in the previous book did not happen. I would have liked to have learned more about those consequences and the ramifications. However, this book – a sequel to the previous book – ignored important world consequences that would have happened as a result of the previous book. On one hand this is a good thing as it didn’t follow the typical trend of a series. I thought I had an idea about where this book was going to go, yet it didn’t go there. I really loved the first book in this trilogy – in fact Epic is currently my top new read of the year thus far – so I wanted to read more. However, progress in life and a read book!
I was doing so well with my challenge, then life happened. He finished off with a picture with second year Noman Javed.Well this is the first book I have managed to finish in about 2-3 months. They included questions like “What games were you playing when you wrote Epic?” and “Have you been asked to make Epic into a movie?” He plans to release his next books online for free. He showed us his childrens books as well like The Book of Curses and The Book of Wishes.Īfter his PowerPoint, he went into more detail about what his different books were about and then he took questions from us. It has been translated into many different languages and the artwork on the front and back covers really stands out. Epic is probably his most well known book. Then he showed us a brief PowerPoint on his many books, most noticeably Epic. He started off by introducing himself, telling us about his career as an author and History Professor at Nottingham University. Conor Kostick, the well known author of Epic, Saga and Edda, visited our school on Wednesday the 13th of May to talk to us about his writing career.
