Chronicle To Books A Face Like Glass
In Caverna, lies are an art — and everyone's an artist...In the underground city of Caverna the world's most skilled craftsmen toil in the darkness to create delicacies beyond compare. They create wines that can remove memories, cheeses that can make you hallucinate and perfumes that convince you to trust the wearer even as they slit your throat. The people of Caverna are more ordinary, but for one thing: their faces are as blank as untouched snow. Expressions must be learned. Only the famous Facesmiths can teach a person to show (or fake) joy, despair or fear — at a price.
Into this dark and distrustful world comes Neverfell, a little girl with no memory of her past and a face so terrifying to those around her that she must wear a mask at all times. For Neverfell's emotions are as obvious on her face as those of the most skilled Facesmiths, though entirely genuine. And that makes her very dangerous indeed...

What an amazing review! If you ever write a book, i'd love to read it!
CHILD,THIEF,MADMAN,SPY,which speaks the truthand which one lies? That is the tagline on the other edition of this book. And I don't believe one has ever been so appropriate and fitting before.Thus it also becomes the perfect prelude to one of the most expert account of a girl with a face like glass venturing out into the underground city of Caverna, wherein lies an art and everyone's an artist. And Everything is really something else in disguise.Here babies are taught Faces, for unlike you and
4.5Possibly the weirdest of a string of weird books I've read recently, and also possibly the best-executed weirdness I've read in years. Review as part of my "trio of weird" here.
This book was really imaginative and creative, I loved the use of imagery and the characters.
This book...wow... Blown away by how detailed this book is. It's definitely not something everyone would enjoy. I would say it's rather slow for most of the story but oh dang when there's action scenes it's amazing. This is basically Alice in Wonderland smashed into a dystopian world. Freaking unbelievably wondrous. 4.5/5 stars
Rating: 4.5 StarsA Face Like Glass tells the tale of Caverna, an underground city, much like Alice's Wonderland. In Caverna, babies are born with the inability to show their emotions on their face and, as such, are taught how to mold their faces into expressions by wearing masks. If that wasn't strange enough, Caverna is a land of magic - although it is never seen as magical - for the wines can erase your memories, cheeses can help you see the future, and perfumes can command your thoughts.
