Completely unexpected and surprising. Science fiction and fantasy meld together into the sweet spot that is Hexwood. Reading it was an emotional experience riddled with complex characters and world development. It was like a good puzzle. The more I read, the more certain pieces fell into place and made the bigger picture come into view. Brilliantly written and enthralling, Hexwood discusses the importance of balance in power without ever really discussing the power but more the struggle for it.Now, that was unique. I own this book in physical form, which was a good thing, since I spent a lot of time paging back and forth to remind myself of who was who and what was what and when was . . . you get the idea. Tangled, complex, frustrating, intriguing, and ultimately quite satisfying.If you love Diana Wynne Jones, prepare yourself for a wild ride and go for it. If you're reading an ebook, take copious notes.Yes, it has a happy romance. Lots of violent death, but nothing graphic. The good
I'm a fan of Jones' twisted and confused plots and of her multi-faced characters. I was well served with Hexwood, a sci-fi tale with a magical twist to it - and of course, Jones' special touch. If you liked Fire and Hemlock, you ought to read Hexwood.
Comfort re-read 2/9/11. This book is one of her most confusing ones, I think. But very enjoyable. King Arthur, Merlin, dragons occur in a sci-fi-ish fantasy complete with evil galactic overlords exploiting earth. Cover Art: The snarkniess in me feels the need to point out that the cover art on this edition--although lovely--has absolutely nothing to do with the novel inside. First of all the main characters throughout the book are described as a sinister & threatening looking man, youngish;
I can't even fathom!!!!!! This story is ridiculous, and stressful, and complicated, and such! a! good! time!I love every character; Hume is sweet and kind of an idiot and also just a kid!! (mostly)Ann is smart and resourceful and as always Jones never let's her falter to be lesser than she can be!!! Mordion is a dork with anxiety and I love him and want him to be happy. I walked into and discovered I was totally and completely confused, but totally chill with it. It's like watching Dirk Gently's
This may be my very favorite book. 20 years and 20 rereads later, my copy is falling apart and I'm still noticing new things.This isn't a book you can speed read. You must either read it more than once (not hard, it isn't overly long) or read it very carefully. Accept that certain things just won't seem to make any sense until the second time through, no matter how carefully you read it.But it may be the finest work of art I've ever read. It weaves together elements from Arthurian legend,
Hexwood: really frelling smart. One of those books I keep seeing more in the longer I think about it. Sort of startling that its Young Adult Fiction; way smarter than the vast number of books we read in my reading group. I suspect if I was a little more educated, Id see a whole lot more in it. We start with a young woman who has the flu and imaginary friends. Confined to her bed, she sees all these mysterious trucks driving up to an old farm, all these odd people going in, and no one ever
