I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This review is spoiler-free.
When you pick up a Frances Hardinge book, you're guaranteed a unique reading experience. She's one of the best storytellers in the business, and her books are equal parts whimsical, humorous, and dark.
Unraveller was one of my most anticipated books of the year (I screeched when I realised she had a book out this fall), and absolutely loved it. The worldbuilding and magic are immaculate - I loved the concept of cursing and the way she explores it in this book - and her characters are so lovable and wonderfully written (even when you want to shake them).
If you're looking for a standalone fantasy adventure that's the perfect escape from reality, I cannot recommend Unraveller more highly. It's easily one of the best books of the year!
