Ilustration In Favor Of Books A Face Like Glass
In Caverna, lies are an art — and everyone's an artist...In the underground city of Caverna the world's most skilled craftsmen toil in the darkness to create delicacies beyond compare. They create wines that can remove memories, cheeses that can make you hallucinate and perfumes that convince you to trust the wearer even as they slit your throat. The people of Caverna are more ordinary, but for one thing: their faces are as blank as untouched snow. Expressions must be learned. Only the famous Facesmiths can teach a person to show (or fake) joy, despair or fear — at a price.

A wonderful middle-grade fantasy with an innocent protagonist let loose in a jaded stratified society like a ferret in a giant domino lineup.Neverfell has been brought up secluded from the rest of the underground magical city of Caverna. She thinks the horror her craftmaster expresses when he sees her face is because she's ugly, but it's not. Her face has what no other face in Caverna has: unrehearsed expressions. With a Face like glass everyone can immediately see what she's thinking, when all

Original review posted on The Book SmugglersAnas Take:Wowza, I dont even know where to start with this review. There is so much that is so excellent about A Face Like Glass, I hope I wont miss anything of importance as there is so much to unpack.A Face Like Glass is just like Frances Hardinges Fly By Night and Twilight Robbery: sophisticated without being pretentious or boring, thought-provoking and smart without being any less engaging, fast-paced and just plain fun.

Caverna is an underground city comprised of the most skilled craftsmen that
