Wild Children por Richard Roberts
This is the freshest, most unusual little story I have read in a long, long time. If you love fairytales or fables or just fantasy, if you miss the just so stories that made reading magic in the first place, don't wait another second. Get this and read it right now. I'm not going to try to summarize anything; I can't do it without mangling it. I can only say it is beautiful - wonderfully written and plotted and carried through to a perfect ending. Seriously. Read it now.
This book took me forever to read mainly because it just didn't keep me engaged. It had lots of fluff in the plot, and much of it could have been left out, simply because it was just filler. It was an OK read, it was weird...would I read anything by this author again? Not likely.
Not what I thought
If you read the first three books, this is nothing like them. Except it is...kind of.
First, Penny is not in this book. At all. This is more of a side book, filling in backstory. It's really good. But it's not really a book that fits naturally into the series. Because the series is about Penny, and she is not here.
Second, it takes a while to start warming up to the characters. Irene is complex. Until she meets Spider you have no idea what is going on. When everything starts to come together it's kind of awesome, but that is the latter half of the book.
I graded this down not because it is badly written or poorly plotted. I Graded down because it wasn't the book I thought I was buying. I expected Bad Penny and Penultimate. The title of the series promises Penelope Akk. But that's not what you get.
If this book had been properly marketed, I would definitely recommend any fan of The Inscrutable Machine to read and enjoy the deep background. But, while Spider is the same Spider E-Claire fears, this is not the book I was sold, so I feel I cannot support it. Even though it is well written… (más)

Plot twist!!
The middle gets a little dull-ish, but the end...whoa.
A few proofreading errors that should have been caught. Nothing terrible, just a little jarring when a sentence tries to be two different sentences at the same time.
