An orphan girl must face untold danger and an ancient evil to save her kingdom’s prince in this “dark, sensuous...queer and lush” (Kirkus Reviews) fantasy perfect for fans of Girls of Paper and Fire and Tess of the Road.

How can you live without your heart?

In the vast palace of the empress lives an orphan girl called Nothing. She slips within the shadows of the Court, unseen except by the Great Demon of the palace and her true friend, Prince Kirin, heir to the throne. When Kirin is kidnapped, only Nothing and the prince’s bodyguard suspect that Kirin may have been taken by the Sorceress Who Eats Girls, a powerful woman who has plagued the land for decades. The sorceress has never bothered with boys before, but Nothing has uncovered many secrets in her 16 years in the palace, including a few about the prince.

As the empress’ army searches fruitlessly, Nothing and the bodyguard set out on a rescue mission, through demon-filled rain forests and past crossroads guarded by spirits. Their journey takes them to the gates of the Fifth Mountain, where the sorceress wields her power. There, Nothing discovers that all magic is a bargain, and she may be more powerful than she ever imagined. But the price the Sorceress demands for Kirin may very well cost Nothing her heart.

This is a rich and unique fantasy world, with nuanced narration that brought it to another level. This is one of those that I think is definitely better performed than simply read. The world itself feels a little....tilted from anything familiar. It's rich with texture and color and casual mention of every kind of supernatural creature. The worldbuilding never felt heavy handed, and every word was carefully chosen. For this reason, the rhythms and tones of the narration really enhanced the prose that was a big part of the EXPERIENCE of the fantasy world. Also, it's populated with all sorts of creatures from an ancient tree spirit to a great house demon to a tiny sprite to a unicorn to a sorceress, and the narrator chooses unique voices for each that immediately seem like the only way you could possibly imagine a voice of such a creature to be. This leads to an immersive and fascinating experience of fantasy.

The plot itself didn't catch me as much as the atmosphere and performance of the book. I did like the themes of questioning what contributes to a sense of gender or identity, and how much expectations can shape reality. I enjoyed the themes of loyalty and friendship and unexpected flips of antagonist to ally, as well as a heroine that starts as literal Nothing and becomes...well, you'll have to see.

Good for fantasy fans hungry for something different. Definitely grab the audiobook version of this one.

Rich world, fantastic narration
