Review: A Face Like Glass is a strong, imaginative fantasy that strives to bring the readers into the magiv of the world that Hardinge has created. Neverfell is swept into a world of intrigue, with courtiers plotting against her each and against her because someone is afraid she will finally regain her memories and ruin a plan seven years in the making. After she runs from his tunnels, this is exactly what happens. He knows the Court would use her face and her inability to lie if they ever found her. When a Cheesemaster finds a young girl in his tunnels whose face changes with her emotions, a girl clearly from outside but with no memory of her past, he calls her Neverfell and hides her. The one thing the people cannot do is naturally change their facial expressions, and so Facemaking is also a Craft. Summary: Beneath the earth in Caverna, the people practice True Crafts, making Jellies that taste like music, Wines that can alter memory, and Perfumes that ensnare the mind.
