![]() ![]() Good story, and probably more worth rereading than most of the Wolves series proper. Lucas Bell is lonely and miserable at Midnight Court, a vast, b. But then I'd have expected to find some Bells or Murgatroyds around the old town. Read 92 reviews from the worlds largest community for readers. I can't quite see this Blastbourne turning into Is's - at least, not once Holdernesse turns out to be nice guy - but give it a generation or two and just about anything could happen. The author of The Wolves of Willoughby Chase presents a darkly humorous adventure. ![]() For all that, there's hope - there's people who love one another, people striving to achieve their dreams and to help others to the same achievement, and a hopeful - not happy, but hopeful - ending. Read Midnight Is a Place by Joan Aiken available from Rakuten Kobo. Plus, well, a couple kids - upper-class kids, at that - managing for themselves after every adult responsible for them is either dead, injured, or deliberately rejecting them - not very realistic, but still well-presented. This is a far more realistic story than Is's - no magical thought messages or anything like that, just fraud, extortion, vicious pranks and plots, and a grim, dark setting. I was interested to read this view of Blastburn, as compared to the Blastburn/Holdernesse/Playland in Is Underground. ![]()
