A review by clacksee
The House of Binding Thorns by Aliette de Bodard
5.0
Madeleine is an addict who’d rather not recover. Thuan is a spy. Françoise and her wife Berith are about to have a baby. Philippe is a doctor and something … other. Asmodeus is one of the Fallen and head of the House of Hawthorn.
Each of them is just trying to get on with their lives. None of the wants to get caught up in someone else’s grand scheme.
But whose scheme is it? And where will it end?
This is an excellent story with a diverse ensemble cast of characters. No one is perfect, but every last one of them is well developed and compelling.
