The Peculiar

(4) 4-6 In an alternate-reality England, a temporary door to the faery world has led to war, and the industrial revolution has hampered the stranded and oppressed faeries' magic. Bachmann skillfully sets tone and scene and has a great sense of rhythm and pace, but the plot is pretty plainly developed. Still, powerhouse fantasy readers will find sustenance here; the cliffhanger shocker suggests a sequel.
