The Glass Sentence by S.E. Grove
5.0
This was beautifully, wonderfully executed. I've been waiting for our library to get a copy since Nancy Pearl mentioned it in an NPR article earlier this year and it was absolutely worth the wait. It was a true adventure, with interesting world building, twists, layered storytelling, and a compelling band of characters. I had difficulty imagining the ages in motion, but I didn't mind. Who would have thought cartology would be such an interesting fantasy plot propeller? (Millions of people, I'm sure. This directionally challenged girl? Less sure). Comparisons to The Golden Compass are not off point, although I enjoyed this one far, far more.
Reading with a baby has proven to be more difficult than I thought. I do it, but I don't get lost in books as easily and if something isn't catching my attention, I will just let it linger on and on. But I was so excited each time I got to sneak a few pages of this, which you can see I finished in the dark after a feeding.
