A Face Like Glass by Frances Hardinge
5.0
I wish I could vividly describe how much I enjoyed this book in the way she colorfully describes the Wines that can take away memories or restore them with a single gulp, the True Cheeses with personalities, the Faces that must be learnt and taught in her universe of dangerous politics that trap you and never let you go, much like a spiderweb, and the twisting, unforgiving, ever-expanding tunnels of Caverna.
I wish I could describe how I felt the naive joy, endless curiosity, painful loss, betrayed sadness and edge-of-your-seat exhilaration Neverfell and the other characters experienced throughout the events of the book. There are so, so few books I can count that have made my heart ache or pounce like A Face of Glass has.
And how I wish it didn't have to end so soon. But I'm content to imagine where Neverfell's boundless energy and cheer will take her yet.
