| Summary: | Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell meets 'A Tale of Two Cities' in H. G. Parry's 'A Far Better Thing', a heart-rending fantasy of faery revenge set during the French Revolution. The faeries stole Sydney Carton as a child and made him a mortal servant of the Faery Realm. Now, he has a rare opportunity for revenge against the fae and Charles Darnay, the changeling left in his stead. It will take magic and cunning, cold iron and Realm silver, to hide his intentions from humans and fae and bring his plans to fruition. Shuttling between London and Paris during the Reign of Terror, generations of violence-begetting-violence lead him to a heartbreaking choice in the shadow of the guillotine. |
