Gullstruck Island by Frances Hardinge
5.0
Holy crap I can’t handle how good this book was.
I can’t begin to describe the plot in a way that will do it justice, but wow. This book surprised me so many times, both with things I never would have expected, and with things I did expect but was shocked by anyways. This book takes no prisoners.
The breakneck pace of it reminded me of “Illuminae” or the kind of books Dan Brown writes, but ultimately it’s much more human than either of those.
Also, it has perhaps my single favorite piece of foreshadowing I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading- read it, and see if you can catch it.
