Hello, I am searching for a fantasy book (series) for my younger brother. Things that I remember - Several thin books (less that 100 pages each probably) - Plot from the first book: A family is betrayed by oldest brother. Just a brother and sister (or twins maybe) survive. They are taken to...

I read a book when I was younger, and seem unable to find it now. It has ghost like monsters in it, and the entire city seemingly lives in fear of them. I'm pretty sure it was based in London. The ghost like creatures had a name, and came in various shapes and forms. Some were harmless...

Tales of the Ketty Jay Book 4: The Ace of Skulls

Tales of the Ketty Jay Book 3: The Iron Jackal

I just recently finished reading (and then re-reading, money is scarce) Retribution Falls and The Black Lung Captain. I enjoyed them, they were entertaining, fast paced reads with a group of misfits in the starring roles, very much appealed to the Firefly fan in me lol Just wondering who has...

The crew of the Ketty Jay are down on their luck. A year after the events at Retribution Falls, Darian Frey is reduced to robbing an orphanage to keep his craft in the air. And when he can't even pull that off, it's clear that the crew need a lucky break. Enter Captain Grist of the Storm Dog and...

Saw this omnibus book (originally three books, I forget the titles) in Chapters today, and was intrigued. However, since joining the Chrons, I rarely make a book purchase without testing the waters. Anybody heard of or read this stuff? I am about to check other on-line sources, for what...

I read the Weavers of Saramyr, first volume of the Braided Path by Chris Wooding, and it left me cold. So I don't want to read the others, but I was intrigued by his concept of the Weave. I know this is cheating, but I'd like to know if he does much with it in the other two books. Does he use it...

Retribution Falls is the first novel in The Tales of the Ketty Jay, which promises to be a series of semi-stand-alone novels set in the same world and focusing on the crew of the airship Ketty Jay and its crew of miscreants and scoundrels. If I had to provide a quick soundbite for this it would...

The Empire of Saramyr is vast, rich and powerful. The Blood-Empress Anais tu Erinima is one of the most powerful and respected rulers in Saramyr's history, and her rule seems secure. However, the nobility learns that Anais' daughter Lucia has magical powers, marking her out as an Aberrant...

I haven't read any of his books yet, but I have a copy of Storm Thief and I read somewhere that some of his books are influenced by anime. I think I read a little bit of The Haunting of Alaizabel Cray. I also heard that he wrote one adult novel. What do you guys think of his books?

The world of Callespa was long ago settled by humans. A rocky moon circling a much huger world (presumably a gas giant) in a binary system, the world became virtually uninhabitable when the stars' output dramatically increased. Humanity retreated underground, splintering into many tribes...

Ok, I may be a little early posting this but anyone can come in at any time and post their thoughts, questions, problems regarding the work.

Are there any other fans of this author? I've only read The Weavers of Saramyr and hoping to get my hands on the next book after this sometime in the future :) However, I do know he has written a few more books, see details before of what I could find out. I dont mind YA books if they are...
