Narration In Pursuance Of Books Cuckoo Song
The first things to shift were the doll's eyes, the beautiful grey-green glass eyes. Slowly they swivelled, until their gaze was resting on Triss's face. Then the tiny mouth moved, opened to speak. 'Who do you think you are? This is my family.'When Triss wakes up after an accident, she knows that something is very wrong. She is insatiably hungry; she keeps waking up with leaves in her hair, and her sister seems terrified of her. When it all gets too much and she starts to cry, her tears are like cobwebs...
Soon Triss discovers that what happened to her is more strange and terrible than she could ever have imagined, and that she is quite literally not herself. In a quest find the truth she must travel into the terrifying Underbelly of the city to meet a twisted architect who has dark designs on her family - before it's too late...

This book is just fantastic! It's well written and has a great characters. It's a little bit creepy (ok a lot creepy in some places) and it definitely has a dark side to it. I was completely engaged from beginning to end. I really hope the author considers writing more about these characters. I would happily read more about Trista and Violet with a little bit of Triss and Pen thrown in.When I go to see a movie and I feel I will like it,I avoid all reviews.Why have anything spoiled?British fantasy award for 2015 awarded Cuckoo Song best novel .So I read it without any foreknowledge.Im glad I did Cuckoo Song is the best book I read all year.
2.5 starsI wasn't a big fan of this book at all.It was completely different to what I expected,the story sounded so good, I thought I'd definitely love this one but I didn't.I found the story quite boring and I thought it was really dragged out with nothing that really fully engaged me in the story.I found the main character Triss pretty annoying but Pen started to grow on me and I loved Violet.The story wasn't entertaining at all, I continually found myself zoning out for numerous pages so then
Because of its rather dark, faerie-like element, I preferred this to The Lie Tree (although I enjoyed that too). The whole idea of the main character being who she is was incredibly clever, I found and, as always, Hardinge has the whole plot tighter than a well-fitted screw. The essence of 1920s Britain is etched behind the words on the page and the pace and mystery of the story does so well to carry you through the first half of the story where it passes the baton to a nervous, gripping second
www.melissa413readsalot.blogspot.comWell that book was nutzy cuckoo, no pun intended. Triss wakes up and can't remember what happened to her, or who her family is, or why she is so hungry. I thought she was some kind of weird monster... well... I'm not telling you! Triss has a sister named Pen that seems to hate her guts. She runs around calling her a monster... so what in the crap is going on? Her parents take her to the doctor and he says Triss is fine accept she is losing weight and needs to
May I call this lusciously creepy without sounding mad? "Extraordinary" just doesn't seem to cut it.My first foray with Hardinge's work was Fly by Night, and I was pretty young when I read it. When I was younger, I thought that since I *got* Pride and Prejudice I could reader whatever I wanted and *get* it. Now that I am a grown-up (or trying to be, at least), that's not true at all. Anyway, I didn't particularly like Fly by Night because I thought it was trying too hard to be Dickensian and I
I put off reading this despite friends insisting that it is the greatest book known to man as I don't like horror and I don't like creepy dolls. Amazon cleverly sucked me in with their daily deal, 99p is just such a bargain.It begins with a young girl, who has memory loss from a near drowning whilst also suffering a long, ongoing illness. Her petty, spiteful sister seems to be involved. Her parents have servants to raise the children but also don't seem to want anyone, including the sister, near
