I haven't read Gray Mountain. I'm always interested in mining stories but seeing great build-up fizzling out is making my heart ache and frustrated sighjcoad wrote: ↑14 Aug 2018, 09:16I remember "Painted House" really good and then rough ending. I didn't really like "Gray Mountain" either. A big advertisement about why coal mining was bad and many opportunities for great stories and they all fizzled out.briellejee wrote: ↑15 May 2018, 22:36Oooh. haven't read that one yet. I guess the ending was a bit disappointing. You know how everything makes sense in the end in his books? I think that was missing in the Painted House.Cate Mbevi wrote: ↑15 May 2018, 13:58
My favourite is The Partner. It is an old one but I keep remembering it. I have never read Painted House. What disappointed you in it?

Garth Nix too- his Abhorson trilogy is what got me hooked, but I've never read anything from him that didn't capture me utterly.
