ObernewtynNET tumblr

Obernewtyn.net, also known as "Obernet", was set up in 1999 as a fansite for the Obernewtyn Chronicles. Since then the site has grown and spouted a variety of sub-cultures! Obernewtyn.net is the resource for information on not only the Obernewtyn Chronicles, but also the rest of Isobelle's novels, and Isobelle Carmody news. As well as a resource, Obernewtyn.net is a thriving, continually growing community, where you can talk to and make new friends, enter a variety of creative competitions, theorise about Isobelle's books, chat about any old book, tv show or movie, write, draw, and much, much more! This tumblr page was set up by request to connect to more Isobelle Carmody fans.

Everything I read in 2016: The Obernewytn Chronicles by Isobelle Carmody

“Change-bringer, Dell had called me. Catalyst, Merret had named me. Seeker to the Agyllians. Not one of these names I had chosen for myself, and I had a sudden sympathy with Dell’s desire to choose her own path, rather than being defined by what she could do.”

For UK Obernewtyn fans (of which there seem to be tragically few), if you haven’t got ‘The Sending’, you can buy it on Fishpond.com which I am ridiculously excited about because I had basically given up on ever finding out what happens next. And you can pre-order the e-book of 'The Red Queen’ to be released in November.

The Red Queen Masked Ball (and how to get an invite)

That Masked Ball that you've probably heard about that Isobelle Carmody will be putting together to launch [i]The Red Queen[/i] and send off the Obernewtyn Chronicles? Yeah, it's happening!

Have you put your name down for the ball? We need to finalise the list by 31st August (tomorrow!). This list isn’t a commitment to buy a ticket, it’s confirming your interest and putting together numbers (of guests, and books required) for Isobelle.

The smiles of an author (Isobelle Carmody), delivering her finished final pages of The Red Queen to her publisher (Laura Harris).

The end of the 28 year epic Obernewtyn saga is REALLY HAPPENING.

Sketch 74: Ashling

I’ve been re-reading my favourite ever book series The Obernewtyn Chronicles by Australian author Isobelle Carmody in preparation for the launch of the final instalment ‘The Red Queen’ this year. Combined with the fact that I recently got my best friend to start reading them and I’ve been thinking about Obernewtyn stuff a lot lately. Here is a quick sketch of Elspeth and a scraggly Maruman!

You know what this means!!!

Little Fur is honestly so lush (drawing from the second book).

[finding--freedom]

Books 4-8 of the year.

They’re part of a series by the same name as the first book.

It’s a post-apocalyptic setting with a Chosen One whose job it is to keep the world from entering a second apocalypse.

The first book in particular is very YA-y, but they’re gradually getting more complicated. My onnnnne critique is that (at least so far) the villains seem to too evil inso that they’re not always believable as people. The overarching story arch is very satisfying and I love love love the backstories.
