Rendition Concering 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.
Into this dark and distrustful world comes Neverfell, a little girl with no memory of her past and a face so terrifying to those around her that she must wear a mask at all times. For Neverfell's emotions are as obvious on her face as those of the most skilled Facesmiths, though entirely genuine. And that makes her very dangerous indeed...

CHILD,THIEF,MADMAN,SPY,which speaks the truthand which one lies? That is the tagline on the other edition of this book. And I don't believe one has ever been so appropriate and fitting before.Thus it also becomes the perfect prelude to one of the most expert account of a girl with a face like glass venturing out into the underground city of Caverna, wherein lies an art and everyone's an artist. And Everything is really something else in disguise.Here babies are taught Faces, for unlike you andThis book was really imaginative and creative, I loved the use of imagery and the characters.
Frances Hardinge and Catherynne M.Valente have been in my list for a looong time.I thought I will begin reading Hardinge this year with her "A Face Like Glass " .*****We have a twelve year old heroine Neverfell ,who is found lost by Cheesemaster Grandible in his tunnels in the underground kingdom of Caverna.Caverna is ruled with an irongrip by the 500 year old grandsteward who is like a spider weaving a web around the courtiers.The fact is that people in Caverna are unable to show natural
2.5 starsIt wasn't the right book for me. I finished it but I was bored for the whole time, mainly because I didn't care about any of the characters.The idea was great but the result wasn't anything interesting for me. It just wasn't my cup of tea.
DNF @34% Idk why I haven't officially dnfed this book yet haha I decided I wasn't going to finish a few months ago... this book was just too weird and disturbing for me I have no interest in finishing it.
5++ Stars. This fantasy story was written so wonderfully and I was captivated within a couple pages. I was looking for a good fantasy book that wasnt part of a series and WOW did it exceed my expectations. The heroine is a 13 year old girl and there is no love interest but if you are into fantasy and beautiful writing you should pick this one up, it was awesome!This is the story of Neverfell and the city of Caverna. Caverna is an underground city comprised of the most skilled craftsmen that
This book was way weirder than I expected. A Face Like Glass starts off in cheese tunnels (I kid you not) and it only gets more and more odd from there. With sentences like "the cheeses were Grandible's only friends and family, their scents and textures taking the place of conversation" and "The child was thriving on the perilous splendors of the cheese kingdom", I just couldn't take this book seriously. Maybe it's just me but I couldn't get through one page without laughing at something that
