I didn't enjoy this book as much as the lie tree or skinful of shadows. I found the plot a little difficult to follow at times. It was sill a good read with a really interesting world and characters.

Rip roaring and adventuresome, France's Hardinge's first book celebrates the power of words and ideas.

I wish I could give Fly by Night 6 stars - it's the best read I've had for ages: clever, inventive and imaginative, complex and snortingly funny. And there's a sequel on the way...

Mosca, the main character, is so wonderful. She was not afraid to think for herself and to follow the adventure wherever it went. Her goose Saracen is the best and I need my own ASAP!
I really enjoyed this world that Hardinge created, reminiscent of 1700s England but set in a whole different world. The different guilds and leaders had really interesting jobs/professions, like the Locksmiths who made locks but also were able to break in anywhere and had a loud voice in politics. Overall it was a fun and silly romp of a story!
