The Thief on the Winged Horse by Kate Mascarenhas
4.0
Kate Mascarenhas previous book ,’The Psychology of Time Travel’, was my favourite book of 2018 and was excited to get my hands on an advanced reading copy of her new book.
Set in Oxford it deals with the magical world of doll making amongst a tight knit family who fear outsiders taking their secrets. Like ‘Psychology of Time Travel’ there is a mystery at the heart of this story which even though set in present day feels timeless and made it slightly difficult to get a handle on the look and feel of the world.
Not as compelling as ‘Psychology of Time Travel’ but still a book I would recommend to anyone who last year enjoyed ‘The Binding’.
