"The culinary world was devastated when we lost Charlie Trotter in 2013, but I am glad that his cookbooks live on. His first book was published in the nineties and really helped to secure his place as one of the great chefs on the end of the millennium."

Set near the end of World War 2. Focuses on a preteen boy and his younger sister and their plight for survival. Fairly bleak movie but gets the point across about the horrors of war and how it doesn't just effect soldiers, but civilians as well.

Another enjoyable ride through the almost-end-of-the-world. Each time I listen i realize how much more I like the rebuilding process, rather than the parts that follow the great coming together of each side. Seeing how the different people handle the major change in their lives is always my favorite part of this book.

Hinted at returns of previous main characters (0 more)
The Western setting (0 more)
This book is the third standalone set in the world of the First Law trilogy and sees farm girl Shy (with a dark secret history) and her 9-fingered step-father return from market to find their farm burned and Shy's siblings abducted.
They duly follow the trail of the kidnappers and end up embroiled in a journey through the "wild west" of this world with groups of travellers seeking their fortune and without exception ending destitute in grubby town Crease.
A number of familiar faces (or hands) return in this book, as well as a number of new characters. I didn't really like the western setting, being totally incongruous with the rest of the books set in the same world, and the mysticism implied near the end was not very well explored (a similar gripe about the first trilogy).
A good read, but really for completists, not to be read as a standalone book.
