Reviews / RecommendationsObernewtyn review by Nef.
Obernewtyn is where it all starts. The obsession, the fanigirling, and the destroyer pig's bid to take over the world. Obernewtyn, the first book by Isobelle Carmody. It was first published in 1987, and is the captivating first instalment of the (still incomplete) fantasy series the Obernewtyn Chronicles...Read On...The Farseekers review by Nef.
Some books leave such an impression on you that you will recall not only when you read the story, but the whole experience of discovering and acquiring the book. The Farseekers is one of those books for me.

I honestly am not sure when I first read Obernewtyn, I know it was sometime after the release of The Stone Key, or around that time, so sometime 2008. One of my friends had read it, and she was recommended by our teacher librarian to read it. I soon followed, and ended up reading The Stone Key before she did. We both loved the series, and discussed a few theories, and kept track of the developments with The Sending.
