![]() Maddy is an interesting main character to follow through the world she ends up being a very powerful character, but because of her age and innocence, she’s not quite in tune with all the subtleties of the world. It’s a sprawling fantasy, in the Grand High Fantasy style: adventure, twists, turns, multi-perspectives and even a somewhat confusing ending. It’s based on Norse mythology, something I found fascinating, and is quite impossible to summarize. ![]() If that sounds really confusing, don’t worry: it is really confusing to summarize this huge 521-page fantasy. One-Eye sends Maddy on an adventure that will lead to a new end and a new beginning for everyone. The End of the World was just a new beginning, and she has powers she never knew. Then, one day when she’s 14, her world shifts: all the things she’s been taught to believe about the Order and the Word - the religious organization that rules the Middle World - are put into question. ![]() ![]() She has no friends, except for a wandering traveler that goes by the name of One-Eye whom she only sees once a year at Harvest time. Maddy Smith is basically a nondescript resident of the small village of Malbry in the Middle Worlds - except for the runemark on her hand which brands her a bit of an outcast, but she doesn’t pay that much attention. ![]()
