Relation During Books Fly Trap (Fly by Night #2)
Having barely escaped the revolution they had a huge (if accidental) part in causing, sharp-eyed orphan Mosca Mye; her guard goose, Saracen; and their sometimes-loyal companion, the con man Eponymous Clent, must start anew.All too quickly, they find themselves embroiled in fresh schemes and twisting politics as they are trapped in Toll, an odd town that changes its entire personality as day turns to night. Mosca and her friends attempt to fend off devious new foes, subvert old enemies, prevent the kidnapping of the mayor's daughter, steal the town's Luck, and somehow manage to escape with their lives—and hopefully a little money in their pockets.
In the eagerly awaited sequel to Fly by Night, acclaimed storyteller Frances Hardinge returns to a vivid world rich with humor, danger, and discovery.

Yay, I was looking forward to this, and it was just as good, if not even better than I hoped.The second adventure of Mosca Mye and Eponymous Clent, and it is IMO standalone-ish, the references to past events is just so to explain the relationship between characters and the worldbuilding essentials are very flawlessly introduced. It is also IMO better written than Fly by Night (which I already liked very much), the pace is better, the plot so marvelously tight, less meandering, the setting evenThere are few authors that can leave me with no idea what the story is going to be and how it will go. Most stories generally have a framework that takes me all of a chapter to recognize--not that I mind. But I can't do it with Hardinge's work beyond the most basic recognition of a con artist caper story. I never know what's going to happen or how the characters will react. Hardinge keeps me reading with no ground under me to expect: I'm running hard to keep up with Mosca and Clent as surprised
Troubles again! Unfortunately, Mosca Mye, Eponymous Clent and the goose Saracen have run into so many complications with their latest scheme that theyve run through the first, second, and third back-up plans.Quaternary plan! gasped Clent. Creative panic!'But at least Saracen is on their side, although Mosca needs to be cautioned by Clent against unleashing the power of the goose. Be it even so, now is the time for calm calculation and not for sending your web-footed apocalypse on a one-goose
love the cover of the book and the imaginary stories, so many twists and turns..Mosca is one of my most favourite characters ever: the girl who has great desire for book, adventerous, courage and a deeply warm heart. Together, Mosca, Clent, and the goose overcame all obstacles (sometimes with cunning tricks). The world in this book is covered with charming words: names of god, the ways Frances depicted and narrated.Although i have not read Fly by night (this book is the sequel) i still felt in
Sequel to FLY BY NIGHT, and that should be 'nuff said. Hardinge shows a real gift for crafting oddball but pointedly cogent societies, and here she does it again with the town of Toll---a strange double settlement of prosperous burghers who are only out after dawn, and impoverished, fear-ridden, despised residents allowed to come out after dusk. Her central characters are richly imagined too---but once again she doesn't give that wonderfully homicidal goose Saracen enough page time!
Mye and Clent are grifters, petty conmen, always working the angles. Now they're broke, made to leave Mandelion after fomenting revolution, and trying to stay away from the people who are trying to kill them. But they're the good guys, and something is seriously wrong in the town of Toll. There's a huge cast of characters, double crosses, triple crosses, twists, turns, confusion on every side. Can a clever twelve-year-old make everything come right when everyone is against her? Of course she
I always read Frances Hardinge's Mosca Mye books with deep authorial envy. How does she do that? How does she write about such grim things and still make you laugh? How does she create people like Mosca and Eponymous and Saracen? How does she come up with these worlds that she creates? How does she twist and turn and twist and flip and tie it all up at the end? Kudos.
