Wyrmeweald: Returner's Wealth - Hardcover
Críticas
The concept behind Wyrmeweald is awesome (Nayu’s Reading Corner http://nayusreadingcorner.blogspot.com/2010/04/wyrmeweald-returners-wrath-by-paul.html 2010-04-29)
Returner's Wealth marks the beginning of what appears to be another excellent series from two very talented men... The themes explored are the dangers of enjoying killing, the empty feeling left after revenge has been exacted, the rapaciousness and wanton destruction and waste of humankind and love that is not always returned. The characters stories interweave beautifully and at no time is there a lull in the narrative. Wyrmeweald: Returner's Wealth is fantastic - absorbing, stirring and intelligently written - everything you could possibly want from a fantasy book. Fantasy Book Review could not recommend it more highly.

...a thrilling tale of deadly revenge and a compelling romance guaranteed to set any young heart on fire... Wyrmeweald is set to be a gripping and exciting new series packed with brilliant illustrations, daredevil danger and heart-stopping action. Scintillating sci-fi for both teens and adults.

...very much enjoyed...exactly what you might expect from the cover... (Richard http://forbiddenplanet.co.uk/blog/2010/wyrmeweald-new-from-stewart-riddell/)
When authors have been successful its always hard for them to not only make a comeback but also to journey into a new world so that the readers have something a little different. What occurs within this offering is a more grown up novel from their previous work and with more adult themes explored within.
It's a world of hardship, a world were great danger brings great rewards and populated by the most ruthless individual bloodthirsty band of brothers ever to walk a great many children's titles. Its dark, its full of fantastical creatures but it's the journey of a naïve young wanderer who experiences hardships, suffering and loss on his excursion. It is beautifully written but the adult themes within make this a novel that I'd recommend a parent read prior to letting their youngster loose within this world.

Young pioneer, Micah, enters Wrymeweald full of hope to return home having made his fortune. But this is a land where wyrmes, fabulous dragon-like beasts, roam wild and reign supreme. In Wyrmeweald man is both hunter and hunted - and seventeen-year-old Micah may never return alive, let alone a hero...
After a near-brush with death on the edge of a canyon, Micah soon finds a chance to prove his worth when he meets with Eli, a veteran tracker of Wrymeweald. They choose to defend a rare whitewyrme egg and its precious hatchling before it falls into the hands of a band of evil Kith. But the fledgling wyrme has its own guardian in the shape of the beautiful, brave and dangerous Thrace.
Thrace, a Kin and a highly-skilled wyrme rider-assasin; and Micah, a would-be Kith, should never mix - but the magnetism between them is strong. Together they join forces on a mission to rescue the hatchling and seek vengenace for loved-ones lost at the hand of Kith bandits. Meanwhile the glorious whitewyrme colony of Wyrmeweald looks on as its land is encroached by gold-diggers and ravaged by bounty hunters. Is Exodus the only option? And if so, when - and where - will they flee too?
