A Face Like Glass Frances Hardinge
I had Frances Hardinge's A Face Like Glass sitting on my desk for a full week, waiting to be readPretty sure this will especially appeal to any lovers of Alice In WonderlandUh huh.But this book really worked for me, even the limited-expressions thing.So, reasons to love A Face Like GlassbyIT HAD TO BE LIKE REAL LIFE, DANG IT
I would say it's rather slow for most of the story but oh dang when there's action scenes it's amazingI was the kid that had to color in between the lines perfectly or else I'd throw away the pictureIt also reminds me this one line from a very awesome song: Maybe if I fall asleep, I won't breathe rightIn fact, seeing this world through the eyes of Neverfell, it is difficult to be sure, at times, if friends are truly enemies and enemies are truly friendsin 2012 but only now arriving stateside) balancing wit and wonder with a dose of big thoughtsThank you! Youll get the first email of recommendations from our critics within a week! BummerThey looked solemnly at the face above them, and saw eyes, nose, mouth, but they did not copy its expressionsThat's why nobody expects me to think zigzag-hop.Well, I can't think straight tooThe Grand Steward may be the most imprisoned of all
In a dark fairy tale kind of wayThis is the kind of fantasy that I want to read completely original and imaginative to the point of near insanity.more flag 94 likesLike see review View all 47 comments You fear her, but she is all you can think about.The members of the elite class are trained in a wide array of facial expressions, each carefully donned for the greatest manipulative effect, while the drudges are not allowed to have visible emotion and must wear only five approved facesI'm pretty sure I could read Hardinge's shopping list and it would be a work of lyrical beauty.If you have never read a single Hardinge, read this oneFree to share and use-------An important lesson: If you ever - EVER - decide to follow the white rabbit (Oh Neverfell, you should have paid more attention to Carroll's Alice and that Neo guy of the Matrix fame), just know that your life will be altered foreverThe people of Caverna are more ordinary, but for one thing: their faces are as blank as untouched snowWhat else would you expect from a place governed by an always-awake leader with split personality, a place that produces exploding cheeses, mind-enslaving Perfumes, memory-wiping wine and captured birdsong in a bowl of jelly? It's the place that has to rely on Facesmiths to provide you with a set of carefully crafted facial expressions (according to your status and income, of course) to convey what you want to convey without ever revealing what you are actually thinkingAnd if you haven't already noticed from my excessive use of quotes, her writing is brilliant too
With a self-assuredness that we so rarely see these days in Dystopian YA, the world that Frances Hardinge created is a meritocracy of money and good relations which has degenerated completely into backstabbing aristocrats that vie for keeping their powerDid you used to be smaller? About so high? He held out his hand three and a half feet above what now appeared to be the ground.Er.yes? Um.some years ago? Neverfell was not sure what more to sayNo neon green rabbit with orange spots and multicolored flowersSitting in that much-needed place between Middle Grade and Young Adult, A Face Like Glass is a coming-of-age novel about a younger protagonist, but the challenges she must deal with are no less difficult or complex.Our protagonist Neverfell was just a child when she was found practically half-drowned in a vat of curds by Master Grandible, Cavernas foremost maker of fine, magical cheesesBuy this book at the Guardian Bookshop Topics Children's books Teen books Children's fantasy books (children's and teens) Frances Hardinge children's user reviews Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share via Email Share on LinkedIn Share on Pinterest Share on Google+ Share on WhatsApp Share on Messenger Reuse this content most viewed The Sunday Times Weird and wonderfulA limitation is Neverfells clear-eyed innocenceI will tell you something else, though I cannot prove itThen, for the first time that Neverfell could remember, he changed to a Face she had never seen before, a frown more ferocious and alarming than either of the others.Who the shambles told you that? he barked
