Review: Nettle and Bone

The trees were full of crows and the woods were full of madmen. The pit was full of bones and her hands were full of wires. T. Kingfisher’s Hugo-nominated novel starts with the action already in process as Marra – mostly a princess and almost a nun – works to complete one of three impossible

They’ve always been there, your Masters the ogres. The start of Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Hugo-nominated novella has all the makings of a Robin Hood-style adventure. The beloved but mischievous son of the village headman befriends the merry band of outlaws who live in the woods (away from the control of the wealthy Landlords) and who dream
