Skilled craftsmen like Grandible create all sorts of things with fantastical properties to sell to the court, like cheeses that can bring on wondrous visions, perfumes that can influence the emotions of others, wines that can make you forget your worst memories, and much more. Caverna, as its name would suggest, is a huge underground city made up of tunnels. From that moment on, he has instructed Neverfell to always wear a mask in public, though he refuses to tell her the real reason why, letting her believe she is hideous and disfigured.įor years afterward, Neverfell trains with Grandible as his apprentice, learning all about the ways of Caverna and cheese-making since she herself has no memory of who she was or where she came from. But as soon as the cheesemaker cleaned off the little girl and looked at her face, he could tell something was seriously wrong. Our protagonist Neverfell was just a child when she was found practically half-drowned in a vat of curds by Master Grandible, Caverna’s foremost maker of fine, magical cheeses. Sitting in that much-needed place between Middle Grade and Young Adult, A Face Like Glass is a coming-of-age novel about a younger protagonist, but the challenges she must deal with are no less difficult or complex. Now I really wish I had read this book sooner, because in a word, it’s amazing. Genre: Fantasy, Middle Grade/ Young Adult This does not affect the contents of my review and all opinions are my own. I received a review copy from the publisher.
