October Book #1

Book: Fly By Night by Frances Hardinge

Book in a sentence: Mosca Mye takes up with a silver-tongued conman named Eponymous Clent in order to get to the city Mandelion and go to school, but ends up starting something of a revolution.

Best thing about this book: The delicious joy Ms. Hardinge takes in words. The names are inventive, the world is built so well you actually believe it could have existed, and she uses so many beautiful words. This is a book that I've read about 3 times, years apart, and I'm always amazed by the beautiful language.

Happy reading!
