Clement-Davies also uses the sight as a way to communicate with all animals because, unlike in most animal fantasies, his characters can only understand those of the same species. Nearly the only function of the sight here is as a tool of prophecy and to allow mental communication between Fell and Alina. Fell is nearly the only animal character – a huge mistake in a sequel to what was undoubtedly an animal fantasy – and, apart from in a short run of chapters near the end, is the only recurring character from The Sight. In Fell the main character is actually a human and the vast majority of interactions are those of humans. Humans have not been absent from the other two books but played only minor or supporting roles, and I don't think any humans in The Sight had speaking roles. The biggest change to Fell from both Fire Bringer and The Sight is the inclusion of human characters.

Another review of Fell, feeling pretty much the same way, is written by Darfix. In reality, Fell is relegated to a minor character in his own story, only getting about a fifth of the chapters, and the aspects that might have interested fans of The Sight have been vastly minimised.įlayrah contains reviews of Clement-Davies' previous books The Sight and Fire Bringer (which is similar to The Sight but deals with a herd of deer living in Britain slightly after the events of that book).
