BL: Fly By Night (Hardinge, Frances)
Frances Hardinge, Fly By Night
Harper (2005) ISBN: 0-06-087627-1
Score: 3
This is a juvenile pseudo-historical[1] novel about a girl, a goose, and a con man who get mixed up in some nasty politics. Contains lots of lying, stealing, fighting, betraying, censoring, and wonderfully anthropomorphic descriptive passages.
[1] It ends with this disclaimer:
"This is not a historical novel. It is a yarn. Although the Realm is based roughly on England at the start of the eighteenth century, I have taken appalling liberties with historical authenticity and, when I felt like it, the laws of physics."
Next Book: Kelley Armstrong, Broken
