The ending to this had several really interesting twists, which totally rescued the book for me. “Everyone knew the first rule of fake kissing: no tongue.” We did get a steamy kiss taking place though. There was a little bit of romance, but most of this was based on Kyra missing Tyler, rather than anything else. “It happened sometimes, she’d told me, to the Returned. Thankfully the action and excitement towards the end made up for this, as well as the cool little twists we kept getting thrown. The pace in this book was quite slow, and there seemed to be quite a lot of travelling and information gathering during this story, which did make the story drag a bit. “Because here’s the thing: if I could dream, it would be of him.

Moustache is a complex story told in a playful, irreverent manner that is not bogged down by expectations of what a novel should be. It is important to me that the books I choose to translate are ones that I enjoy as a reader first.

Things that made me want to thrust it into the hands of anyone who bothers to listen to my recommendations. There were things about The Water Knife that I can and will praise highly. The latter was such a powerful and horrifying book about the effects of war, particularly on kids. I enjoyed The Windup Girl and I especially loved The Drowned Cities. I really like and appreciate what the author tries to do, both the strength of his writing and his focus on the dystopian but not unrealistic futures that could occur due to climate change. As with Brave New World, I think I'm inviting insults to my intelligence by saying this, but sometimes Mr Bacigalupi is just a little too heavy for me. Aided by her bodyguard, who has secrets of his own, they must survive ghoul attacks, outwit a vengeful jinn queen, and confront a malicious killer from Loulie’s past. With no choice but to obey or be executed, Loulie journeys with the sultan’s oldest son to find the artifact. When she saves the life of a cowardly prince, she draws the attention of his powerful father, the sultan, who blackmails her into finding an ancient lamp that has the power to revive the barren land-at the cost of sacrificing all jinn. ‘Loulie al-Nazari is the Midnight Merchant: a criminal who, with the help of her jinn bodyguard, hunts and sells illegal magic.

But after five years of lunch orders, finicky authors, and per my last emails, Nora has come to one grand conclusion: Dream Jobs do not exist.

Among them all, along with other more minor characters, Daniel Deronda lives, with each separate character forming a separate thread in his life, and showing us a different aspect of Deronda himself, and also of the better parts of ourselves.
