Next, I went with Verdigris Deep by Frances Hardinge. My first with this author.
The author did well with all the word pictures and expanding my imagination. I didn't know what to expect from page to page. A sense of danger seemed always present and people's reaction was sometimes normal and other times not. Funny and scary at the same time. The author delves into the human psyche to explore, as another reviewer wrote, such “weighty themes such as desire, peer pressure, fear, corruption, and the impact a good (or bad) upbringing can have on a child.” Rated C+ [3 stars].
My Stark library membership ends at the end of this month so my next read will come from there.
