A review by impreader
The Boneshaker by Kate Milford, Andrea Offermann
4.0
The narrative had a curious--and sort of deceptive--lazy-going arc, like the sun-smoothed dust of a deserted dirt road. Only the slow at first let's the startling and deeper things pop up, after they've grown--and you never even noticed them growing.
It was an excellent story, with overlapping convincingly layered world and characters, and a protagonist with as much understated courage and depth as her story. That makes it all sound unbearably stuffy. But Mitford weaves her horror, her beauties and her mysteries together tightly enough to squeeze the 'stuff' out of anyone.
