Audiobook narrated by Steven Crossley.
As a kid I loved Clement-Davies' book Fire ringer. I borrowed The Sight from my school library but never actually finished it. When I noticed it was included with my audible membership I decided to give it another go.
A family of wolves go on a great journey, navigating a legend and a curse, and discover much about themselves, nature and man.
- The characters in the book were very good and I enjoyed how different the author managed to make each appear. A small gripe is that many names sounded very similar, especially when listening to the audiobook and it would take me a moment to remember which character was being referred to.
- I don't particularly enjoy Christian allegory and for a while I hoped that this book would subvert it but alas I was disappointed, especially because at certain points, the book seemed on its way to breaking free of it.
- The narration was very good and added to the story. Honestly, at certain points the narrator made the book more interesting that it would otherwise have been.
I'm glad I've read it finally but I'm probably not going to reread it. I would imagine those who enjoy wolves, chosen one type fantasies and religious overtones would enjoy it more.
