In The Unseen, a thief absconds to a small town, where she is pursued by her former employer and then joins in odd company to try to save the life of a little girl. The characters shine with their different backstories, some of which are dark. The story slows a little when new characters are introduced but it is exciting when their paths cross or connections are made. The settings are varied, and the magic is whimsical but also creepy in this high fantasy novel.
