I adore this setting. It’s whimsical and strange and curious, everything you would want in a mysterious land of undefined location. The Thief Knot follows along the precedent that Greenglass House set with puzzles and mysteries to solve and strange settings to explore. The characters are great - perhaps too smart for 14 year olds but then again, what do I know? 14 year olds seem so much smarter today than I was at that age. Great follow up book to Ghosts of Greenglass House.
