Yeah they're REALLY good. But you know what, she stopped for a while to write some other books then continued with them again. So there's like a couple of years period between them. I read them a few years ago. They're my favourite books :D

OMG. I read this when I was in Year 6 or 7. They're awesome. The only thing I remember was how Elspeth and Rushton finally declared their love for each other. :eek: 'Ravek my Elspethlove' LOL. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah I know eh? It was so cute when Elspeth thought he had a thing for some other girl, but all along he was trying to get with her. He didn't have the whole telepathic skill that she had. But Cameo from the first book was one of my favourite characters.

I've read them. Liked them so much I brought them lol. I only started them when I was in year 7 or 8 so i feel sorry for anyone who read them ages ago, ho long they've had to wait haha. She's FINALLY bringing out the second last book! Though this book has been put off So many times. I recomend these books to anyone who hasn't read them.

I had to read them in Year 5 or 6, and I hated it. I still haven't read the first book (Obernewtyn), and it's been sitting on my bookshelf, gathering dust for the past five years or so.
I've also seen the rest of the books in the library, it seems way too big for my liking.

Book 1= My favourite book. You HAVE to read it. Have you read any part of it?

The other books are okay. The 4th book is a bit big though ;)

She's pretty much never ever going to finish it.

I read Book One in year 6. That's like what, 9 or 10 years ago? I read up to the 3rd, bought the 4th, and refused to start reading the 4th until she actually released the 5th. It's been years. I've forgotten EVERYTHING.

I'm now totally excited, so does it means I can read the 4th now??? I hope they were as good as I remember them to be. I read a lot of other sorts of books after Obernewtyn, so my tastes may have changed :(

See that's the downside of taking your sweet ass time! Your readers grow up!
