Description During 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...

This book, the fourth installment of the Obernewtyn Chronicles, tells the tale of Elspeth as she is left in charge of Obernewtyn while her beloved, Rushton, goes to the lowlands to talk with the rebels. While she waits for Rushton, waits for the call of her destiny to destroy the Beforetimer, she runs the great hidden safehaven of the Misfits and waits for Dragon to wake from her slumber. But Dragon's slumber is affecting the dreams of the Misfits and a Dragon attacks Elspeth on the DreamtrailsREREAD #1: 20 November 2015 - 23 November 2015 (9/10)There's so much in this book. The rebellion takes place, we learn more about Elspeth's quest and the Beforetime - and how those two are linked together.There's been a fundamental shift by the end of it, but there's still so much more to go. On my first read of the series, this was where I stopped. I was too worried about what was going to happen next and I knew the next book was the last one written at the time. This time around, I'm eager to
i didn't feel as strongly as others that this book was a boring departure from the first three, but i did feel that it dragged on and on a bit. I think that Carmody could have sped everything up a little bit without losing any of the tension. The bits about the diving were really cool and i'm excited to learn more about the red queen. But it was super obvious that Dragonwas the Red Queen (or at least her daughter). I wanted to slap Elspeth on the head by the end of the novel. and if i don't get
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
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
Book 4 was great!!! I love this series... On to book 5:o)
