Jeannette Ng: Under the Pendulum Sun (Paperback, 2017, Angry Robot) 3 stars

Review of 'Under the Pendulum Sun' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

Catherine Helstone enters Arcadia, land of the fae, in search of her brother who left on a missionary trip and hasn’t been heard from since. But everyone she meets seems not only unwilling to help her, but much more interested in slotting her into their own machinations.

Gothic and mysterious and full of the strangest and most lurid imagining of faery I think I’ve ever encountered. Definitely my favorite faery masque! And brilliantly shaped by Ng’s background in theological studies. A great Del Toro movie could made of this...
