A SKINFUL OF SHADOWS description from Goodreads

A Skinful of Shadows is masterly written. The reader is drawn into a world of family secrets, unlikely alliances, questionable loyalties, and intrigue.  As I was reading, I was confident I knew where the story was going, but to my surprise, it took the perfect twist or turn I never could have predicted. This book is very creepy and will remain under your skin long after you finish the book. After finishing the book, I set it down and stared at the cover marveling at how A Skinful of Shadows is the perfect title for this book.

I was instantly drawn to this book because the author is Frances Hardinge. She is the author of The Lie Tree, one of my all time favorite books. After I saw the cover for A Skinful of Shadows, I knew I had to read it. I am so glad I did. It was next to impossible to put down. I’m afraid my “real” life suffered because I was so caught up in Makepeace’s life.
