Summary

Poison never lies.

Talia was once one of the 12 martyrs of the forgotten compass, a prisoner of the unhuman creatures known only as the vordcha. She barely escaped that life with her body and soul intact. Now she has a new life as a poison eater in the city of Enthait.

Here she is hailed as one of the city's protectors. No one knows her history. No one has asked about her past. She's been here long enough that Enthait is her home now; these are her people. She loves them and they her. But in the Ninth World, the past is a living, breathing thing. And when it hunts you down, you can run. You can fight. Or you can die.

Profile Image for Mr. A. Jackson

a fantastic build up, bit a rushed finish

such a compelling story, with a great build up and beautiful narration. I really enjoyed the characters, particularly the child and her mech beast.

I was disappointed with the abrupt ending. I felt like all the build up was wasted, it all felt a bit rushed. a less than satisfying conclusion, a real anti-climax.
