When Controller Borasus receives a strange letter from Earth he is both curious and alarmed. Someone has activated an ancient machine and is using it for most trivial purposes. Surely no one would dare to tamper with Reigner seals in this way? Yet the effects of such interference resonate throughout the universe, so he decides to go to Hexwood Farm to investigate…

On Hexwood Estate, Ann watches the mysterious comings and goings with interest. She knows something deadly is going on – or is Hexwood simply altering her too?

Critique Appertaining To Books Hexwood

This book is a difficult one to review because it is such a highwire act which on the whole succeeds. Superficially it is more science fictional than most of DWJ's work but some of the elements - such as dragons and the role playing virtual reality which dominates the book - steer its feel towards fantasy. The story opens when an alert comes into an area controller that an emergency has occurred on a backwater planet called Earth. It seems that a machine stored there, called the Bannus, has been

this book reminded me so much of "the library on mount char"it was hard to get into and confusing at times , alice in wonderland vibes

It is hard to encompass all of this book's virtues.

I'm a fan of Jones' twisted and confused plots and of her multi-faced characters. I was well served with Hexwood, a sci-fi tale with a magical twist to it - and of course, Jones' special touch. If you liked Fire and Hemlock, you ought to read Hexwood.



Comfort re-read 2/9/11. This book is one of her most confusing ones, I think. But very enjoyable. King Arthur, Merlin, dragons occur in a sci-fi-ish fantasy complete with evil galactic overlords exploiting earth. Cover Art: The snarkniess in me feels the need to point out that the cover art on this edition--although lovely--has absolutely nothing to do with the novel inside. First of all the main characters throughout the book are described as a sinister & threatening looking man, youngish;

Fantastic premise, but the plot is perhaps too clever for its own good. By that I mean it's a twisty story but because of that DWJ didn't pay as much attention to the characters, of which there are many, and their subsequent characterization. I liked Mordion a lot, though, but I never got a good feel for any of them. The villains, to me at least, were a bit of a let-down. Also just want to warn that there is a rather racist portrayal of a Japanese Hexwood agent a little over a hundred pages in.
