![]() ![]() From here on in, there will be some spoilers. ![]() Long story short: This story is amazing, the setting expanding, the plot complex yet easy to follow. I know now why it was so bland: whoever wrote the cover didn’t want to give anything away. Though Hardinge had written the excellent Fly by Night and I hungered for her to write another story, this plot did not engage me, based on what was written on the cover. I picked up this volume a few years ago, but the cover description was… bland at best. It’s going to be hard to write a full review without giving numerous spoilers. I could swim in this world, it’s so well constructed. ![]() Hardinge created such a lush world with so much wonder and grit, I despair of ever putting together a fictional setting nearly so fulfilling. The story pulls me along, and the second I finish reading, I have to write. Sometimes, as a writer, when I read a book filled with a compelling plot, an inventive and immersive world, and engaging characters, I’m inspired to create on my own. ![]()
