I’m happy to report that her latest has all the qualities I loved in her last adult science fiction story, and much more. The Mad Scientist’s Daughter was one of my favorite books of 2012, and I’ve been waiting three long years for a new book by Cassandra Rose Clarke. But the murals were faded and the benches covered in dust, and for a moment Eliana considered turning around and walking back into the train. She could see how it had once been part of an amusement park: the murals of Antarctic animals greeted her from the walls, and on the platform was a line of wrought-iron metal benches that stretched out into the shadows. The doors screeched open and Eliana stepped out onto the abandoned platform. The nitty-gritty: Full of the same surreal and desolate atmosphere that I loved in The Mad Scientist’s Daughter, Clarke brings us an irresistible story full of dangerous and desperate characters, in one of the most unique settings I’ve seen in some time.
