Another great little book, Cooney continues to blend the darkness of the true fairy story with the outlook of the modern world in a unique new way. 10 September 2017 ( )

A simply delightful fantasy. Or maybe not so simple... Loosely echoing various myths, such as Tam Lin, Pygmalion, etc., the end result here feels wholly original.

Gideon is a sculptor, a rich boy seemingly slumming by living in his artist's garret. Across the hallway is Analise, an author who's come to the big city to pursue her writing career. The two enjoy - or possibly don't enjoy at all - a fraught and intense relationship, sliding between viciousness, repressed attraction, and uneasy friendship. But what bothers Analise the most is Gideon's seemingly self-destructive urge to smash all of his beautiful sculpture - sculptures which seem magical in their beauty - and just plain magical. One day, she steals one, to save it... and from there, a deadly drama involving the otherworld of the fey will ensue....

I think this would appeal to fans of Ursula Vernon/T. Kingfisher, and of Sarah Monette's 'Doctrine of Labyrinths' series.

Most delightful of all - after finishing this I found out that it's actually second in a series(?) of three related novellas. More to read! ( )
