Lost Conspiracy
Lost Conspiracy | Frances Hardinge
5 posts | 9 read | 11 to read
On an island of sandy beaches, dense jungles, and slumbering volcanoes, colonists seek to apply archaic laws to a new land, bounty hunters stalk the living for the ashes of their funerary pyres, and a smiling tribe is despised by all as traitorous murderers. It is here, in the midst of ancient tensions and new calamity, that two sisters are caught in a deadly web of deceits. Arilou is proclaimed a beautiful prophetess--one of the island's precious oracles: a Lost. Hathin, her junior, is her nearly invisible attendant. But neither Arilou nor Hathin is exactly what she seems, and they live a lie that is carefully constructed and jealously guarded. When the sisters are unknowingly drawn into a sinister, island-wide conspiracy, quiet, unobtrusive Hathin must journey beyond all she has ever known of her world--and of herself--in a desperate attempt to save them both. As the stakes mount and falsehoods unravel, she discovers that the only thing more dangerous than the secret she hides is the truth she must uncover.

Looks like she wins this argument! Why did I put my book down? It was a trick from her I should have known. 🦉📖❤️😱

Deifio You have an owl! Cool! 🤩 Does it take letters to other book wizards? 😁 5y
hannah-leeloo @Deifio sadly no, the last letter she took from me to be clever she dropped behind the fridge hahaha 🦉✉️ 5y
Buechersuechtling @hannah-leeloo Excuse me, but just can‘t bite my tongue on this question. Was it a bill that she dropped❓ You know I‘m just hearing this funny phone call with the bill-issuing company in my head: “Excuse me, M‘am, please can I get another copy of that bill you sent me❓ My owl dropped the original behind the fridge.” 😂😉 @Deifio 5y

hannah-leeloo @Buechersuechtling it actually was a bill ? instead I had to fish it out with a piece of wood, I highly doubt they would have believed me like the "dog ate my homework" haha. Not trusted Bilbo wish the letters since 5y
hannah-leeloo With* not wish haha 🙄😂 5y
Buechersuechtling It‘s such a crazy story that I‘m sure they would have believed you. I mean, who‘s witty enough to replace a dog 🐶 with an owl 🦉❓ That‘s so exceptional that you have to believe it. 😄 5y
hannah-leeloo @Buechersuechtling haha maybe so, Bilbo is a crazy girl though. These currently sitting on my book shelves pecking at a dinosaur ornament lol. Do love her 🦉🦕😂❤️ 5y
Mishu94 That is the coolest pet ever! 5y
hannah-leeloo @Mishu94 I do not class her as a pet but thank you 🙃 5y
Deifio Well she probably said "hey I'm not a homing pigeon and my name's not Hedwig!" ? @Buechersuechtling 5y
hannah-leeloo @Deifio she works hard in other way, been with her since hatched and trained her myself. She's a good girl really 5y
Mishu94 @hannah-leeloo oh I‘m sorry ☹️ all I meant was it‘s really cool to have an owl! 5y
hannah-leeloo @Mishu94 no no you're OK hun just I didn't wish for other readers to believe it so. She is definitely cool ❤️ thank you again. 5y
Mishu94 @hannah-leeloo welcome! ❤️❤️do share more posts with her in it! 🤗 5y
hannah-leeloo @Mishu94 I have shared her before but she is definitely making sure she's getting noticed haha, she does pout when I read more than cuddle her 😂🦉📖 5y
Mishu94 @hannah-leeloo haha she loves your attention then! I didn‘t know owls liked to cuddle! 🤭 5y
hannah-leeloo @Mishu94 owls are a lot like dogs but instead of fetching they fly off with your things 😂 5y
Mishu94 @hannah-leeloo haha omg! That‘s a new thing I have learnt today! 😂 5y

As usual I struggled to pick my next book, thanks to the fiancé I'm reading this next. Have read her books before and loved them so here we go. It's a cold day so just right for this.

Frances Hardinge combines impeccable writing with her stunning imagination in this story. It‘s full of adventure and mystery and did I mention the writing? One of my favorite MG books. (Published in the US as The Lost Conspiracy).
