Chronicle As Books The Lost Conspiracy

On an island of sandy beaches, dense jungles, and slumbering volcanoes, colonists seek to apply archaic laws to a new land, bounty hunters stalk the living for the ashes of their funerary pyres, and a smiling tribe is despised by all as traitorous murderers. It is here, in the midst of ancient tensions and new calamity, that two sisters are caught in a deadly web of deceits.

Arilou is proclaimed a beautiful prophetess one of the island's precious oracles: a Lost. Hathin, her junior, is her nearly invisible attendant. But neither Arilou nor Hathin is exactly what she seems, and they live a lie that is carefully constructed and jealously guarded.

When the sisters are unknowingly drawn into a sinister, island-wide conspiracy, quiet, unobtrusive Hathin must journey beyond all she has ever known of her world and of herself in a desperate attempt to save them both. As the stakes mount and falsehoods unravel, she discovers that the only thing more dangerous than the secret she hides is the truth she must uncover.

First of all, let me say upon finishing this book: Wow. Now let me start from the beginning: This is a big, thick doorstop of a book. I almost decided it wasn't worth the commitment, but then I re-read the glowing reviews and resigned myself to lugging it around for a week. When I was halfway through, I realized that this book is enormous for a good reason. The epic story that takes place in this book could have easily been spread into a trilogy (or more) but the author bit the bullet and told

This book didn't quite get there for me. I really wanted it to. But it didn't.It is still an excellent book. I suspect that part of the issue is that it suffers in my eyes in comparison to A Face Like Glass (as most things do).The story is beautifully told. I'm going to start there. Frances Hardinge has a wonderful way of creating a world, one that strikes the right note between wonderfully strange while still being relatable in its familiarity. The world this book is set in is wonderfully

Wow. This was amazing. Will write it up as soon as I can manage a bit of coherence, and can pick and choose between all the many flagged quotes I want to share...Write-up here.

This...this book is art.I'm still in shock. Let me just say it was an extremely pleasant surprise.The language, characters, plot, setting, culture, everything, are all genius.The twists, oh the twists! I had to read carefully, weighing every word, to make sure I wasn't missing anything, but it was still fast-paced and quick to follow.The descriptions...there are several of my favorite kind, which make me stop and think "Oh, that's how it is, isn't it!" Like "self-control hissing out of him like

Originally posted here.The Lost Conspiracy by Frances Hardinge comes highly recommended by Megan Whalen Turner and you can see her talk about the book here.At 576 pages, this is a pretty hefty volume so I couldn't lug it around with me. I decided to start reading it last weekend because it was a long weekend. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish it. I spent my days at work, constantly thinking of the time when I could go back home and continue reading this story set in a lush, tropical island

"Well, what did I want, recognition? No, Hathin realized, I did everything I did because, well, Im me." Frances Hardinge and her oddball magical fantastical stories that, far from the simplicity often expected of books aimed at slightly less wrinkled audience, are filled with thought-provoking multilayered and often ambiguous complexity, are undoubtedly my best literary discovery of 2013 so far. Her stories are soaked in belief that children's literature can in no way be inferior to that meant

Two sisters live on an isolated island that is the home of 4 volcanoes, couple of tribes, and 200 years of opression for the Lace tribe. The turning point of the book is murder of all the Lost, people who can detach their senses from their bodies. The Lace are blamed, of course. I love every book Frances Hardinge puts out. Seemingly for children and young adults, it always packs a serious punch. Here, the punch was somewhat preachy and neatly resolved, so 4 stars from me. The setting of this
