Spiderlight

After reading quite a few of this author's books I had decided that I preferred his sci fi to his fantasy writings. Then I read this book and changed my mind.
Spiderlight begins in an ordinary fashion with all the tropes - a quest, dark versus light, a world full of magic and weird creatures. Even the main characters are what you would expect, including a slightly crazy, fire loving magician, a self righteous man of god and a cheeky, loveable thief. There is a lot of humour in events and dialogue.
The story takes a turn when a spider is co opted into their group and changed to fit requirements. Enth (that is the spelling in my kindle version although I see many reviews spelling it Nth) is an original in all ways and watching his struggle shows how hard it is for anyone with a difference to fit in. The author continues to write a marvellously entertaining story but there are several underlying messages if the reader wants to think more deeply.
I enjoyed this one enormously and plan on continuing my own quest of reading more of this talented author's books.

Luckily for me I live in a residential area well away from bushland so I am personally okay. What some people are going through is terrible. Thanks for your thoughts Angela:)
