Written by Andrea Stewart , this novel follows Lin, the daughter of an Emporer who has ruled for far too long, a smuggler, and a few other characters. Girls have been going missing for years, islands are sinking, and the Emporer seems to be losing power. What will they do? What will they learn?
In this world, using the powder of a bone’s connection to its human’s soul, creations can be powered, and it is these creations that have protected, and controlled, the people of a country made of moving islands for many years.
This book is very well written, and reminded me of The Bone Maker, in all of the best ways. If you enjoy high fantasy, and are okay with a little bit of gore, and enjoy some mystery, this would be a good choice for you.
