Mosca Mye og de forbudte ordene

Fabulous characters, brilliant writing.

Some excellent things within:
* A warrior goose
* A precocious twelve year old with unconvincing eyebrows
* A wordsmith conman
* A highwayman turned reluctant and perplexed hero
* A number of warring gentlemanly guilds and various other colorful factions
* River-floating coffee houses that move from place to place on a schedule
* A wealth of intriguing world building
* Names taken very seriously and dictated by a Name Day god (and date and time of birth)
* Characters with hidden depths
* Wigs for different activities, and a wig so enormous that it’s suspended from the sedan chair rather than attached to the person’s head
* “The pursuing coffee house” in a sentence
* Weddings of the dead
* “…there is one thing that is more dangerous than Truth. Those who would try to silence Truth’s voice are more destructive by far...”

Saracen is an absolute darling of a goose.

5.0

One of my favourite books as a child - unique in many ways among children's fiction for not 'dumbing down' the language, meaning you can get lost in the beautiful writing as well as lost in the plot. Really beautiful writing that treats childrens fiction with respect - and beautifully so.

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the lie tree or skinful of shadows. I found the plot a little difficult to follow at times. It was sill a good read with a really interesting world and characters.
