The description of the book, while technically accurate, doesn’t do it justice.
How long should Hark stay loyal to his friend when he’s becoming a monster-and what is Hark willing to sacrifice to save him? But with the heart, Jelt gradually and eerily transforms. But are they really gone forever? When 15-year-old Hark finds the still-beating heart of a terrifying deity, he risks everything to keep it out of the hands of smugglers, military scientists, and a secret fanatical cult so that he can use it to save the life of his best friend, Jelt. Decades ago, they turned on one another and tore each other apart. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea meets Frankenstein in Frances Hardinge’s latest fantasy adventure Opening line: They say you can sail a thousand miles along the island chain of the Myriad, from the frosty shores of the north, to the lush, sultry islands of the south. Published: Macmillan Children’s Books, 2019 If I don’t, you all get to make fun of me forever and ever.
This has to stop! I’m making a commitment now that I will read at least one more Frances Hardinge book this year. I keep buying them because they all sound so cool, yet I never actually read them.
I have to read more Frances Hardinge, you guys! There is no discernible reason why, after loving Fly By Night, I didn’t pick up any of her other books.
