    I've read The Gammage Cup and The Whisper of Glocken. I rather liked the former but was disappointed in the latter.

    I'm doing the first now and I think it's really foony! I love the names, and the whole atmosphere of it is lush and colorful.
    Why didn't you like the second?

    Hmm. I don't know. I just didn't enjoy it as much as the first one.

    Funny how sequels sometimes do that. What's the meaning of the title?

    The Whisper of Glocken is a special bell.

    The first (thus far in my readings) is about a town that requires everyone to wear the same color cloak, make their houses look the same, and one sect of the town, called Periods, delcare what is true about the artifacts in the musuem. Then several of the townspeople, called Minnipins, are exiled because they don't conform to the overbearing laws.
    Ahum.

    Okay, I just looked them up, and I have a question. Does it matter if I read them in order? 'Cuz I can get the Whisper of Glocken from PaperbackSwap now, but not The Gammage Cup.

    @ Alassiel
    You will probably want to read them in order, as the heroes (and heroines) from The Gammage Cup make an appearance in the second one, but it's up to you.

    @ Pip
    I thought it was funny how their culture is based on that one guy's trip out of the valley in the balloon. All their poems must be like Mary Had a Little Lamb...
