Hexwood 
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?
Completely unexpected and surprising. Science fiction and fantasy meld together into the sweet spot that is Hexwood. Reading it was an emotional experience riddled with complex characters and world development. It was like a good puzzle. The more I read, the more certain pieces fell into place and made the bigger picture come into view. Brilliantly written and enthralling, Hexwood discusses the importance of balance in power without ever really discussing the power but more the struggle for it.

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
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
Hexwood: really frelling smart. One of those books I keep seeing more in the longer I think about it. Sort of startling that its Young Adult Fiction; way smarter than the vast number of books we read in my reading group. I suspect if I was a little more educated, Id see a whole lot more in it. We start with a young woman who has the flu and imaginary friends. Confined to her bed, she sees all these mysterious trucks driving up to an old farm, all these odd people going in, and no one ever
Hexwood by Diana Wynne Jones is a young adult novel with some surprisingly complicated themes and plot. No doubt, this is aimed at a younger audience, and the influence on what must be considered the Harry Potter genre is unmistakable, still, this has some interesting twists and some very imaginative themes. Blending tame science fiction with fantasy, Jones creates a solid YA story with some deeper, and darker, elements.

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.Completely unexpected and surprising. Science fiction and fantasy meld together into the sweet spot that is Hexwood.
