Welcome to the Witherward, and to a London that is not quite like our own. Here, its summertime in February, the Underground is a cavern of wonders and magic fills the streets. But this London is a city divided, split between six rival magical factions, each with their own extraordinary talents and the alpha of the Changelings, Gedeon Ravenswood, has gone rogue, threatening the fragile accords that have held London together for decades. Ilsa is a shapeshifting Changeling who has spent the first seventeen years of her life marooned in the wrong London, where real magic is reviled as the devils work. Abandoned at birth, she has scratched out a living first as a pickpocket and then as a stage magicians assistant, dazzling audiences by secretly using her Changeling talents to perform impossible illusions. When shes dragged through a portal into the Witherward, Ilsa finally feels like she belongs. But her new home is on the brink of civil war, and Ilsa is pulled into the fray. Beset by enemies on all sides, surrounded by supposed Changeling allies wearing faces that may not be their own, Ilsa must use all the tricks up her sleeve simply to stay alive.

#ARC from ages ago

Tried reading this several times, but it didn't make a lot of sense to me.

julieclair Oh, too bad! This is a book I would have picked up based on the title alone, and the cover art would have drawn me in as well. It's always so disappointing when the book itself doesn't do justice to it's cover. 2y
julesG @julieclair That, plus the blurb, made me request the ARC. Then I tried getting into the story. It wasn't clear when the story was place, I assumed Victorian era. It wasn't explained why the "Witherward" version of London was made up of several kingdoms which had been at war with each other for no apparent reasons. Info-dumping in stilted conversations,.... Or in other words: a YA fantasy novel that could have profited from an edit or two ? 2y
Clwojick Sorry that you didn‘t enjoy it, but at least it‘s off your shelf now! 🤎 2y

Do you ever over hype a book so much in your head that when you read it your disappointed? That happens all the time with me, but! This book deserves all the hype it can possibly get. STOP WHAT YOUR DOING AND READ THIS BOOK. New favourite. That‘s all I have to say. 5⭐️

One of those books acquired in March type posts…

3 new, 3 thrifted plus this sweet nutcracker

(technically I thrifted 4 books but 1 is on its way back to the op shop, because while it was a cracking read, it‘s not exactly in bookshelf condition)

KateReadsYA Wow your shelves are amazing 3y
