For fans of Natalie Haynes, Kiran Millwood-Hargrave and Neil Gaiman
comes Frances Hardinge's spectacular new novel Unraveller. Called
her 'best yet' by the Guardian, and 'sheer perfection' and 'a
masterpiece' by reviewers, Hardinge expertly weaves together
mythology and mystery in a meticulously-detailed world besieged by
curses. If you must travel to the country of Raddith, then be
prepared. Bring a mosquito net for the lowlands, and a warm coat
for the hills or mountains. If you mean to visit the misty
marsh-woods known as the Wilds, you will need stout, waterproof
boots. (You will also needs wits, courage and luck, but some things
cannot be packed.) You have of course heard that some people in
Raddith are able to curse their enemies. It sounded so picturesque
when you were reading about it at home, like a fairytale. Perhaps
you will decide that all the stories of the Wilds and the Raddith
cursers were invented to entertain tourists. And at night, when you
see a many-legged shape scuttle across the ceiling of your
bedchamber, you will tell yourself that it is a spider, and only a
spider . . . . . . It is not. In a world where anyone can create
life-destroying curses, only one person has the power to unravel
them. Kellen does not fully understand his talent, but uses it to
help those who have been cursed, including his ally and closest
friend, Nettle. But Kellen himself is cursed, and unless he and
Nettle can release him, he is in danger of unravelling everything -
and everyone - around him. ----- 'Exquisite . . . sheer
perfection'- Liz Hyder 'Brilliant' - The Guardian 'A gloriously
creepy, intricate masterpiece' - Adrian Tchaikovsky 'Dark and
delicious' - Katherine Rundell 'Spellbinding' - Katherine Woodfine
'Instantly engrossing, effortlessly clever, and completely magical'
- Freya Marske 'Mesmerising' - Hilary McKay 'Everyone should read
Frances Hardinge. Everyone. Right now.' - Patrick Ness
