The Raconteur's Commonplace Book by Kate Milford
5.0
A return to Nagspeake, and a stay at the Blue Vein Inn, a necessity, because the rain…well, the rain won't stop.
"The rain had not stopped for a week, and the roads that led to the inn were little better than rivers of muck. This, at least, is what Captain Frost said when he tramped indoors, coated in the yellow mud peculiar to that part of the city, before hollering for his breakfast. The rest of the guests sighed. Perhaps today, they had thought. Perhaps today, their unnatural captivity would end. But the bellowing man calling for eggs and burnt toast meant that, for another day at least, fifteen people would remain prisoners of the river Skidwrack, and the new rivers that had once been roads, and the rain."
As readers of Milford's [b:Greenglass House|18222716|Greenglass House (Greenglass House, #1)|Kate Milford|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1379952488l/18222716._SY75_.jpg|25656381] know, this is Milo's favorite book. It's a utter delight to return to the Sovereign town of Nagspeake and see the history of Milford's other books woven into this one, the bonds tightening to make a cohesive whole.
One can only hope the Au t Lucy's Counterpane Book shows up next.
