Book cover: “Unraveller” by Frances Hardinge (Macmillan, 2022); audiobook read by Eleanor Bennett (Macmillan Children’s, 2022)

In terms of character arcs this is standard YA fare (and overlong at that), but Hardinge commits all-in to the fantasy scenario, weaving a world whose magics and creatures seem as natural as they are wondrous. The destination more-or-less warrants the journey. #Unraveller #FrancesHardinge

Received some stunning book post from Two Hoots Books for the My Book Corner blog.

A surprisingly lightweight package given the booky heavyweights inside 📚👍

"Reality, to me, doesn't seem all that realistic" #FrancesHardinge who expresses truths through exploding cheeses & sentient volcanoes #YALC

Perks of author research: climbing volcanoes, then claiming them for tax. #FrancesHardinge #YALC #HLR
