This one has a serious idea below the surface as well: that treating people differently based on arbitrary standards warps and poisons society. In the eagerly awaited sequel to Fly by Night, acclaimed storyteller Frances Hardinge returns to a vivid world rich with humor, danger, and discovery.
Mosca and her friends attempt to fend off devious new foes, subvert old enemies, prevent the kidnapping of the mayor’s daughter, steal the town’s Luck, and somehow manage to escape with their lives-and hopefully a little money in their pockets. Having barely escaped the revolution they had a huge (if accidental) part in causing, sharp-eyed orphan Mosca Mye her guard goose, Saracen and their sometimes-loyal companion, the con man Eponymous Clent, must start anew.Īll too quickly, they find themselves embroiled in fresh schemes and twisting politics as they are trapped in Toll, an odd town that changes its entire personality as day turns to night. It is full of the same dry humor, word play, imaginative characters, fascinating world building and intricate plots. And if you enjoyed the first book I think you will enjoy Fly Trap as well.
I loved Fly By Night so when I saw a sequel had been released I knew I needed to read it right away.
