My Swordhand is Singing by Marcus Sedgwick

2.0

Kinda disappointed in this book. Usually Carneigie medal nominees are totally worth their salt, but I really found this disappointing. Ton of potential, but slow in the wrong places, then chaotically brought together to finish. Had some really interesting lore potential, but none of it was really explained. At one point the characters are aiming to work out who is undead, and Sofia casually says 'a virgin on a horse can tell'. It just seems so random with no reasoning. I think I'm most saddened by how much potential this book had, compared to what the book delivered.
