Fly Trap

De: Frances Hardinge

Narrado por: Cassie Layton

Mosca Mye and Eponymous Clent are at it again. Escaping disaster by the skin of their teeth, they find refuge in Toll, a strange gateway town where visitors may neither enter nor leave without paying a price. By day, the city is well-mannered and orderly; by night, it’s host to rogues and villains. Wherever there’s a plot, there’s sure to be treachery, and wherever there’s treachery, there’s sure to be trouble - and where there’s trouble, well, Clent, Mosca, and Saracen can’t be far behind. But as past deeds catch up with them and old enemies appear, this time it seems as if there’s no way out.

Another Gem

For years and years Fly By Night has stood out in my mind as one of the most unique and engaging novels I had ever encountered, and Fly Trap delivers the same experience with a wonderfully bizarre setting full of the most delectable words and devious plots. I love the helter-skelter, Holy Roman Empire/30 Years War style chaos and absurdity of the world, with the same undercurrent of menace and human tragedy. I love this world, this heroine, and the way that Cassie Layton brings it alive in all of its truculent glory.
