About book Beyond The Hanging Wall (2003)

Garth Baxtor, a apprentice physician to his father Joseph, is like his father possessed of The Touch – the ability to ease pain and discomfort in addition to promoting healing by laying hands on the patient. When Joseph’s yearly summons to tend to the prisoners working in the mines arrives, Garth is finally deemed old enough and experienced enough to accompany him. Garth soon discovers that the Veins, as the mines are called, are the most dismal and appalling place imaginable. Imagine his surprise and horror when, while treating prisoner #859, he senses the Manteceros royal tattoo beneath scar tissue on the prisoner’s arm – when everyone in Escator knows that seventeen years ago the crown prince met his death in a tragic hunting accident.Beyond the Hanging Wall is a pleasant if simplistic and predictable read. There isn't a lot of suspense, but it was still a decent diversion. It’s easy to understand why it’s considered young adult by some, although in my library it’s shelved with adult fantasy.

Do You like book Beyond The Hanging Wall (2003)?

I thought it was pretty awesome. The plot flowed really well, and took off after the first couple of chapters. Most of the chapters ended with good hooks that kept you reading. Coupled with many short chapters, and the book really had that late night "just one more chapter" feel to it.The only odd thing about the book was her shifting of POV. From one paragraph to the next she would shift the POV, often several times in a row between several different characters. Many times just for that one paragraph. As I've never encountered such shifting before, it was a little jarring at first. Once I got used to it, however, it wasn't a problem at all.
