Fly by Night by Frances Hardinge



Rated it 1 star!

Ugh, I hate having to give bad reviews. I do. But I guess you can't have everyone love your book!
Well this book is about a girl Mosca born in the past where written materials are pretty much banned, except by the Stationers (which give their seal on ok materials.) Then there's this other guy Eponymous Clent who she's run away with to become his secretary and they're trying to find an illegal printing press.

A little spoiler alert....maybe...continue at your own will. I had to skim the last bit of the book. I just wanted it over, even though I did want to find out what happened at the end. It's confusing to start with because she uses unusual language in the book and people's names are weird and places' names are weird. I really am not sure I understand exactly what she was trying to get at at the end other than you should think for yourself...I think...among other things perhaps.
