The ending has a touch of deus ex machina, but readers will gladly follow Forster into a presumed sequel. Set in a magically isolated Empire with a strict caste system, a two-child limit, and telepathic cats, Forster's well-crafted story and confident prose are rich, packed with small details that immerse readers in her sumptuously imagined world. With time running out, Nisha tries to find out what happened to the girls, uncovering her own lost past along the way. Just as her wish seems within reach, the deaths of several girls make Nisha a valuable pawn, now destined to be sold as a slave. See more ideas about book city, upcoming books, doll quotes.
