Technically, it was a good book, but I didn't like it. It had everything to make it enjoyable, a good vocabulary, decent structure and a pretty good plot. But for those who read The Sight and Fire Bringer it was a serious let down. His other wolf-based novel was provacative and amazing, creating a hidden world that was rich with culture and depth. It was brilliant but this one seemed lacking, or even less than lacking. It was missing something that I can't seem to pin down. I actually haven't re...more

I bought this book thinking it would be just as amazing as The Sight but in turn, it backfired. Not only was it horrible, it ruined the whole first book for me.

There are so many things wrong with this book I don't know where to start.

First off, it ruined the perfect, PERFECT ending from The Sight by saying it was all a lie and that Larka actually survived the fall and that man killed her. That takes away the entire POINT, and the entire MEANING of Larka's actions and judgement in the first book...more

David Clemet-Davies totally nailed it with his breath-taking sequel to 'The Sight', his amazing previous masterpiece. Clemet-Davies weaves words the way Monet could weild a paintbrush. His writing was, as always, riviving and extrodinary.
'Fell' is the story of the she-wolf Larka's brother Fell, now a loner. Fell, like his sister, weilds the Sight, an ancient and terrifying power that has seperated him from other wolves, even his dear pack. Now he roams the Transylvanian mountains alone, searching for truth, stalking lies, and hoping to find solace. Finally, he is presented with a purpose when the spirit of his beloved sister Larka tells him of a human child whose destiny is intertwined with the fate of nature.
This child is a 15-year-old girl named Alina.
Alina was abandoned as a young toddler, found in the snows. A man named Malduk found her and adopted her, and both he and his ghastly wife Ranna mistreat her horribly, calling her an evil changeling. Her only friend is a Malduk's 9-year-old neice, Mia, who (though she has a big heart) has no power to help Alina. But, Alina is special. Like Fell, she has a sliver of green in one of her striking hazel eyes. She is connected with Fell, and she is the first human to possess the Sight. When fate whisks her away(well, actually chases out) from Malduk's arrogent grasp, Alina finds herself with a strange and fearful compainion in Fell. Now, they must both embark on a perilous quest to discover Alina's identity and her destiny.
HOLY. 'Fell' left me breathless, wishing desperately that I'd read it much, much slower.
As always, David's writing pulled me along the long journy. The characters were absolutely amazing, especially Alina. I'll admit; at first I was a bit wary of a human character coming into the picture. I worried that would kill the whole animal fantasy thing. But it really didn't. Clemet-Davies balanced everything out really well. Also, I simply fell in love with Alina immediantly. She really was a wonderful character that I could easily relate to. I understand that constant sense of lonelieness and longing she and Fell both had. She feels so disconnected from the world that won't have her, that rejected her because of her mysterious past. But when she finally relizes that her feelings don't have to keep her down, she quickly rises to her own power.
Fell, however, was a much more malancholy character. Like Alina, he is detactched from a world he was supposed to belong to, but simply couldn't. Thanks to the Sight, he knows he will never be able to be a true, free wolf. There is a constent sense of tragedy. He can never forgive himself for the things his evil aunt forced him to do, nor can he forget Larka's death. Without her to remind him that he is not evil, he begins to think that he might have always been just as bad, if not worse, than Morgra herself. But Alina's presense gives him hope that he can redeem himself and turn his heart away from Morgra's engulfing darkness.
Redemption is also a big theme of this book. I certainly can't tell you why without spoiling the whole ending.
With deep characters and poetic writing, 'Fell' will not dissapoint.(less)

Also because this book is about wolves and my favorite animal is the wolf. Fell is a lone black wolf who possesses the sight.

Also because this book is about wolves and my favorite animal is the wolf. Fell is a lone black wolf who possesses the sight. The sight is a power born too few animals and it is both a curse and a gift. It gives Fell the ability to touch minds, control others, see through another’s eyes, see the past, present, and future in any body of water, and understand any animal. But also feel the pain of his prey and can throw off any opponent with a swing of his head. But Fell is a troubled wolf because he feels guilty of his dear sister Larka. Larka’s destiny had caused her death and Morgra’s. Larka helped Fell out of the darkness and evil that his aunt Morgra had persuaded him in the first place. Larka and his aunt Morgra posses the sight as well. After his sister’s death Fell decided to walk the world alone in search of the truth and meaning. He abandoned his father, Huttser, his mother, Palla, and his adopted brother Kar. Yet after the years pass Larka’s spirit communicates with Fell in a cave. She tells him to help a human child on her great destiny that will involve nature itself. At first Fell denies this destiny and wanders off. Meanwhile a young teenage girl named Alina Sculcuvant lives with a shepherd named Malduk, his wife Ranna, and their niece little Mia. She was saved from the forest where she lay unconscious and was thought to be changeling. She was said to be a fairy child and they disguised Alina into a boy so the goblins of the forest would not take her back. She has had strange dreams of her past but does not seem to recall. She dreams about her family and wolves. Yet clever little Mia discovers a document in which it reveals the truth of Alina's past. So Alina runs away from the hated town of Moldov to find her true home. Soon after, Alina and Fell’s path cross and together they go to find out their true destiny. But many other events happen during their journey involving their families and friends. It is filled with horrors, happiness, and shocking revelations. The antagonists are Lord Vladeran and Morgra. Through magic spells Lord Vladeran communicates with Morgra.
The central conflict is wolf vs. self (man vs. self). Throughout most of the story Fell is often troubled with his life. He often thinks about his family and wonders what has become of them. Also he thinks of his sister Larka and grieves for her. All his sorrow makes him not want to think of a life for his own, his future. I think the theme for this book is you can’t run away from your destiny. You have to face it with your head and tail raised, paws firmly on the ground, and teeth bared to face destiny. And Alina who is constantly dreaming about her family and feels guilt as well, because she feels she did something wrong but can’t remember. Also another conflict is man vs. nature. Alina and Fell are always in trouble and chased by people or animals because they are wanted dead. A motif would be the word destiny. It is repeated a lot in the book.
The writing style of the author is really detailed and descriptive. It is as if you can imagine it in your mind. It is also very descriptive on the deaths too. Yet he also puts in his opinions of life, which makes you relate or think it over. He talks about religion and saving nature as well. I would recommend it to anyone who likes animal fantasy books or people who are just animal lovers. It is a really good book, but I recommend you to read the first book, The Sight. Because some events are recalled in the book and you won’t be able to understand it. But after you read The Sight, I strongly recommend you to read Fell. It is a spectacular book, at times dark which makes it better. It's hard to only read just one page.

I can't remember if I actually finished this or only read the first half, maybe two thirds. I just didn't like it. It was well planned and had the same pace and language as the first, but the narration was different. I couldn't get myself to like Fell. At all. Which is odd because he was a cool character in The Sight. I think he was fundamentally different here. Some of the other characters were really interesting, especially the female wolf who ends up living with Fell, and of course all of the...more

I was thrilled to see that there was a sequel to THE SIGHT! I devoured this book in three days and was in tears at the end. Clement-Davies has a real talent for writing about the animal world in a philosophical, multi-layered way. And I loved the thematic dynamic between dark fatalism and the odd sense of mystique surrounding the Sight, a theme that he also pulled of so well in the first book.

Granted, Clement-Davies writes about Fell's struggles and story more compellingly than Alina's, but I e...more

I thought this book was pretty good. It challenged me like The Sight did, but I thought at times the author got rambly and drifted off the story line. I also think he was talking WAY too much about religion and death. At those times, it was a pretty dark book. But aside from that, it was an excellent read. Very exciting, and a nice ending.

The writing was spectacular! I rated the book 3.5/5. If it wasn't the good quotes and messages, I would have only given it 3/5. The writer put too much details after details, especially Fell's parts, and those things bore me. Some things were not really...more

This book is basically a continuation of "The Sight". The young black wolf in the sight is now old and so is the boy he keeps seeing. This time the book tells the story from the wolf's point of view instead of the boy. The Black wolf's name is the same as the title. Fell and his family of wolves journey the world with the help of the boy who is now a man, to try and save their forest from a foreseen darkness.

There are many themes throughout Fell by David Clement-Davies, the sequel to The Sight. It shows the courage of both man and wolf and how you need courage to overcome not only your fears, but depression as well. There are religious undertones, not just the separation of wolf and human mythology, but of different religions the humans have as well. There are also heavy implications of women empowerment, I suppose mostly due to the fact that the main human character is a young woman who is suppose...more

This review can also be found on on my blog.

Review:

a.) Characters: 2/5 points. Five years after The Sight, we are wallowing in self-pity from Fell after losing his sister Larka and trying to figure out Alina’s true past. I like the idea that Alina was disguised as a boy named Alin. Adding the human in however was, in my opinion, not the greatest of ideas. In The Sight, the goals were always to the next step progressing the storyline. This one wasn’t as upbeat or clean-cut in travel or target.

Quote from WORD for Teens:

As with all of David's books, I fell in love with it. I love wolves, and I've loved Fell since The Sight. (Who wouldn't want a big black wolf protecting them?) The first few chapters were a bit slow, but I got into it soon enough. I wasn't sure if I hated him or loved him for having part of the book told through a human perspective - he's stuck to his animals so far - but I loved the book anyway.

The plot line was beautiful; a nice compliment to the previous book, The Sight. David's writing is fluid and interesting, and fitting for the time period the book was written for. I loved the Sight, and I loved this one too!

Fell, the late Larka's brother, is also afflicted with the curse "the sight". After the loss of his sister, and freedom from Morgra, Fell realizes it might be better if he was away from everyone else. He becomes a loner, and falls into a depression. Then he finds his girl, and it becomes almost a love hate relationship. Fell loves the girl, and wants to protect her, but also hates man, and hates the idea of it because it reminds him of his sister. However, Fell is fighting for something more than just the girl, he's fighting for freedom. “It's those that fight hardest for freedom who are never free.” he says, and so he is bound forever, never too see freedom from his course, but risks everything for the freedom of others. David Clement-Davies also tries to teach us to let go of the past, especially in the passage where he is telling Alina “Life is wonderful, so revel in its beauty. Be all you can be, and let go of the past. It is nothing but shadows.” As Fell battles with his inner turmoil, David Clement Davies shows us how sometimes we need to let go of our personal reservations if it means helping the greater good and protecting the safety of others.

While I did not notice this until the second time I read Fell, David Clement-Davies uses Fell as an outlet for his own opinions. In the novel, Fell says “I wish the battles of men could be solved in their heads.” , and then later, “Christians believe that God came amongst us as a man, do they not? Yet the Muselmen say he was only a prophet, and that God has no name...We fight and kill each other so readily, yet if I had been born in the East, would I not believe the stories they believe, and if they had been born here, would they not be Christians?” . I loved both of these quotes, because it was sort of like: A wolf can notice these subtle things, and humans go on for years, decades, GENERATIONS feuding over this. Fell continues on to judge humans/man (Davies' way of judging humans now) and showing just how much they control in the world by saying: “But of all the animals, man holds the fate of the world in his hands.” This is extremely true, because we have the highest capacity to do the most damage! But what we don't see is just how much our choices, our PERSONAL choices affect everything around us. But man is too busy with himself to notice. “Man, who thinks he knows everything. But what does man know...Man cares only for himself, in his fear and hate.”

However, out of all the quotes in the book, my favorite would have to be “Why does death engender fear? Because death meant change, a change greater then we have ever known, and because death was indeed a mirror that made us see ourselves as never before. A mirror that we should cover, as people in olden days covered mirrors when someone died, for fear of an evil. For with all our care and pain for those who had gone, it was ourselves too we felt the agony for. Perhaps ourselves above all.” , because it means the most to me. Because in death, we are seen as everything we have ever amounted for, everything in our entire existence comes down to just a few short moments in death, and that is maybe what David Clement Davies is trying to say. Maybe we live our entire lives in fear, and we are scared of death because we know that if we die then, we have not had the chance to live.

I recommend this book to everyone and anyone, because it's just amazingly written.

I loved The Sight, as well as Fire Bringer. This book feels completely different from both of them.

Even though this is technically a sequel, it really doesn't have much to do with the first book, other than having some of the same characters. In fact you don't even have to have read The Sight at all. This book copies the same cover style as the first, with the main wolf character's face taking up the whole cover, superimposed over the scenery, with the eyes boring into those of the reader. But in reality it should have had the HUMAN character's face on the cover, because this book is really about her!

Fell is more or less just a big, furry accessory to her story, and her story takes up a lot more of the book than Fell's, and more time is spent in the human world than with the animals. There is some conflict with Fell's birth pack, and you get to see the old favorite characters and the pups from the end of the first book as adults. But so little time is spent with the other wolves that these scenes are more or less cameos.

This short changes Fell's little brothers and sisters because since very little time is spent with the wolf characters, and they are brand new characters more or less, they get very little development, which is a shame because they seem like they could be interesting characters. And poor Kar is probably short changed most of all. There is a very touching scene where Huttser and Palla die, and thankfully Fell is there for that. But still, it's almost like you can completely cut all the parts with Fell going back to his birth pack and that whole subplot out of the book, and nothing would change. It would still be a decent story. That is how unimportant it is. The villain is dealt with rather swiftly, and because the book doesn't dwell much on that conflict I was never that scared of him, or anxious about what he might do. Fell has a romantic interest in the story, but their romance is NEVER developed in any way. They share a few scenes together, and the love interest is important in the climactic final battle--which revolves solely around the human characters.

In fact, I would much rather have read a book about Fell and the new she wolf and how their relationship develops. A story about Fell finding his way in the world, coming to terms with his past, and eventually starting his own pack would have been great! But no.

It isn't even that I particularly disliked the human characters, or their storyline. It was a really good story, and all the human characters are pretty likable. It's just not what I thought I would get when I bought a book with a wolf's face on the cover and said wolf's name as the title! To put it frankly, I didn't care at all about any of the human characters, I just kept hoping the story would get back to the wolves. But that didn't really happen except for a small bit towards the end, because this story simply isn't about them.(less)

Have you ever felt like an outcast? Pushed away by your peers and friends because of something you could do or know? Fell, a black-furred wolf from Transylvania is an outcast from the rest of his pack and is isolated from his sister, Larka, due to the fact that both his sister and him share the gift of seeing the future and other peoples thoughts. This causes him to become a "kerl", which means lone wolf.

I can't say this with all certainty, as I haven't read his two human books. But I can say the human side of this story was hardly compelling, while the animal side grabbed me every time.

What I liked:
Fell. I love Fell and everything about him. His adventure with the Sight and through life itself drew me in every time. His character was incredibly complex and compelling and never once was pushed aside in the story, he was always the focus of the story. I felt very connected to Alina and him.

The beaver, the salmon, and the stone mouth. Each of them had very interesting and relevant points about life and the experience of love and hate, as well as the meaning of being truely alive. This is what I felt the story was written for, and not really about the whole narrative.

Fell's old pack. While we only saw them briefly, it was fun to revisit them from the old book, and rather emotionally charged and certainly the strongest feelings shown in the story.

What I disliked:
Alina's story. She is FAR too young to experience everything she did. I couldn't wrap my brain around the concept of her age and her maturity and experience, it just wasn't believable.

The narrative as a whole. It was way too predictable. As in, I predicted the end of all conflicts at least 10 pages or so before the resolve was written, sometimes even further than that. The conflict itself was very minimal and very short. Most conflicts were resolved in a paragraph or a page, which was a bit disappointing.

The "perfect"ness of it. Everything worked together far too perfectly...it was as though there was no anomalies in changing the course of the story. The story was given from start to finish, and felt much less like a journey as it felt like an observation of events. There was no downside.

The lack of a villian. That isn't entirely, true, of course there was a villian, but he didn't feel like a villian. He was more of a corrupt person that was there simply to push the narrative along and give the characters a common goal. He didn't pose any threat for the entire story as Morgra and the Lord of the Herd were posing threats.

Jalgan. Same as Vladeran, Jalgan didn't even feel like a villian at all. He was just some tool to get Fell to truely understand himself. He didn't pose any real threat, nor did we learn much of anything about him aside from his want to kill all the Sikla. I felt very disconnected from the villians in the story.

However, I would definitely recommend this to those who have read The Sight and are interested in a sequel. I would not recommend it to those who don't already know the story, while I would highly recommend The Sight and Fire Bringer to anyone.(less)

Fell was as amazing and captivating as the sight. Although I prefer the Sight to Fell, I was still in awe with David Clement-Davies writing. This book, much like the Sight, forces the reader to question everything they understand about life. Whether it be the moral views of life and death or what waits for us beyond death, this author makes you question it over and over. When the book is done, you have no more answers then you started with yet somehow you feel satisfied with the questions asked....more

When I read the blurb, I thought hey, sounds like fun. I'm a fan of anthropomorphism and I like wolves so this should be a great read. The story itself was ok. It wasn't stunning but it was entertaining and at least mildly compelling. Here's what I had a problem with, though: the author was unable to tell the story and stay within his own time period. On at least 5 separate occasions he referenced future knowledge in a way that detracted from the story and made me want to throw things. I'm glad...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Interesting, and reasonably entertaining. But there were some major flaws in this story (most of which could probably have been fixed by some good ol' fashioned editing). I was most annoyed by the philosophical digressions, which related only peripherally to the actual story, and just seemed like an excuse for Clement-Davies to rant about his philosophical beliefs and to preach about the importance of the environment. Ease up, man.

Also, there were some spelling mistakes. Like inconsistency as to...more

In the exciting conclusion to The Sight, Fell is the story of a lone wolf's struggle to find his place in the world, and in his own pack. Twin-lining Fell's path of discovery, we are accompanied by the young girl warrior Alina, whose own path has been equally dark. As both wolf and girl connect with each other through the magic known as the Sight (an ability to link minds and share thoughts, both of the present, past and future), they moved towards a future that is on the verge of war. The concl...more

what i thought of the book was that the author put the same amount of effort in this book as in the last book. but the difference is that he has settled for no more than two main characters instead of many. he also gives us the fate of fells sister near the end of the book and that people and creatures can unite to stop any evil forces (for example an evil king) that may dwell in the world and even in hopeless situations that you have at leat one person that believes in you.
