Explanation Supposing Books The Keeping Place (The Obernewtyn Chronicles #4)
'Look out,' I screamed. The flying creature lashed out and I stared in horror at Rushton's bloodied arm. Maruman leapt between us in his tyger form. 'Let me go to him!' I screamed.'He is in a dream but the beast is not. It comes! Wake!'
After a kidnapping, Elspeth Gordie and the Misfits are forced to join the rebellion against the oppressive Council, using their extraordinary mind powers. But Elspeth must also seek out clues left by the long-dead seer, Kasanda, vital to her quest to destroy the Beforetime weaponmachines. One clue is lost in the past, forcing Elspeth to travel the Dreamtrails, stalked by a terrifying winged beast, with the cat, Maruman, as her guide and guardian. Only there can she learn more of the Beforetimer Misfits and their enemy, Govamen.
Gradually Elspeth realises her quest is intimately linked to the Misfits' refuge, Obernewtyn - its past and its future...

As good as ever, maybe a little more heartbreaking because I know what's coming... On to the next one.In this book the dream trails are really properly explored, and my waning interest was renewed when Elspeth visited the past with the help of her long time companion, tethered to her living body in the present. What captivated me, was that they were able to weave a tale that explained dreams, time travel, ghosts, and out of body experiences all in one single event. What I didn't understand is why they used a rubbing to communicate what she saw there, as it's the least likely way to reproduce a
In the fourth book of the Obernewtyn Chronicles Elspeth assumes the responsibility of the Master of Obernewtyn when Rushton must leave to negotiate a deal with the rebels in the fight with the Herder Faction and the Council. The situation becomes more complicated as Dragons dreams begin to affect all the Misfits but particularly Elspeth who must dodge an avenging reptilian dragon in her dreams. Maruman does his best to protect her on the dreamtrails but everyones resources are stretched
I'm really starting to get in to this series now!
So far my least favourite book in the series. Unfortunately, 80% of the book is like trying to help a small disabled dog. It's sweet, but all emotion and no brain.Elspeth's character development is like this dog. A good deal of the time I spent reading this book involved many "great thinking, Elspeth. Thanks for finally catching up with everyone else, you dolt." "Oh! Ariel is the destroyer?! But my dreams can't be real! Even though I and everyone else have insane mystical powers, these dreams of
Fucking fuck. What a disappointment after books 1-3 which were great.This is a long... long... looooonngg book, made worse by the fact that absolutely zilch happens in the first half. It is literally a report of Elspeth going from one meeting to another. How does anyone write 500 pages and still nothing happens???The first half of the book isn't even build up. It isn't important at all. If the book had started with Rushton's being kidnapped, which happens just after the halfway point, really
This is definitly the weak link in the series. Literally nothing happened for the first 4/5ths of the book and all the places and people seem to have caught up with Carmody to create an inpenetrable maze of names. Seriously, no wonder she felt she had to include a three-place (tiny font) dictionary at the front of the novel, but surely the fact she felt she needed one should've been a warning light? Once the book does get moving it's interesting, but I don't know weather it's because I've been
