Too much violence, too much in each culture that I find abhorrent, for me to truly enjoy this book. I'm not sure I would have finished it if wasn't for my bookclub. However, the plot was superb and the attention to detail extremely impressive.
Also the fact that some characters truly had hearr in the face of such pain touched me.

I am utterly fascinated with Frances Hardinge’s mind. Must be so whimsical in there
