Perhaps she and Clent can use the kidnapping plot to their advantage and earn a reward that will pay their toll out of the city and with some pocket money beside. Toll is also the site of a dangerous intrigue to which Mosca happens to be recently somewhat privy. But in order to get to the other side of the river to fresh prospects, they have to pass through the only town that has managed to bridge the impossibly wide and wild river-and Toll charges a toll. Between Mosca, Clent, and the goose Saracen, they’ve exhausted most if not all of the settlements this side of the Langfeather. In Fly By Night’s sequel Fly Trap there is more oppression, at least one decapitation, a lot of theft and lying, and the return of “the winged warzone” Saracen.įly Trap begins 3 months after Mosca Mye and Eponymous Clent leave Mandelion and, needless to say, they have landed themselves in a bit of trouble. ![]() In Fly By Night there is religious/political terrorism, atheism, and book burning. In Lost Conspiracy there is colonialism, cannibalism, and genocide. ![]() I recommend them to everyone aged 10 and up. Reading Frances Hardinge’s books are a dangerous proposition. “Just between you and me,” Mosca whispered, “radicalism is all about walkin’ on the grass.” ( Fly Trap, 337) ![]()
