Anyway, this extract is from the beginning of the essay, where I talk about the world as a whole before I dive into the nitty gritty of individual places. In this series, the emotional journey is heavily embedded in the landscape through which the characters travel as they mature, and it’s SO COOL!!Īhem. Once I started looking into the series, I realised just how heavy it is in symbolism, especially when it comes through journey through adolescence, which is obviously one of the most important themes in YA. I’m actually super proud of this in true nerd-fashion. So, in celebration of the fact that the new book in the series, Goldenhand, will be published NEXT WEEK *pterodactyl screech echoes across the Ratterlin* I thought I’d post a couple of extracts from my dissertation. So much so, that I actually wrote my dissertation on it (and no, I will never stop bringing that up because it was the most fun thing I ever did). Garth Nix’s Old Kingdom series is one of my favourite fantasy series’ EVER.
