'Poison' by Chris Wooding


RRP: £6.99 Pages: 269 Fantasy Fiction Paperback


What a fantastic read! I really enjoyed this quick, but entertaining and captivating story! It was short and definately sweet! This book is definately aimed at the younger category of readrs - say, teenagers - but, will also appeal to those fans of fantasy fiction as it encompasses goblins, faeries, huge spiders, different Realms etc!


Poison has always been a wilful, contrary girl, prone to being argumentative and stubborn. So when she discovers that her younger sister has been snatched by the phaeries, she decides to seek out the Phaerie Lord herself to get her back.


But finding him is not easy, and he's a little preoccupied when she does. Poison has stepped into a murderous world of intrigue, where the Lords of the Realms, a sinister pantheon of demi-gods, conspire and plot to overthrow the Hierophant - the most powerful lord of all. For the Hierophant is writing again, and his pen will decide all their fates...


With only her wits and her friends to aid her, Poison must survive the lethal attentions of the Phaerie Lord, rescue her sister and thwart a plot that could mean the end of her people. What awaits her is beyond anything she can imagine ...


Rating - definately 10 out of 10 for this fun and entertaining read!
