A daredevil and an uncanny city: Time with its Tricks
Falling a bit behind here, with the usual spring busyness, but be sure to check out Time with its Tricks (Amazon | universal links), the third Moth Plateau novella!
I'll have more to say about Sakehin, the daredevil at the center of this story, but for now, here's the description of the novella:
Sake is a daredevil, master of stunts and hero of a thousand deeds.
At least in his own mind.
But when his daydreaming leads to him losing his job as a messenger on the Moth Plateau, he has to find new work. If his wild imaginings don't leave him stuck in place, sponging off the tavernkeep of Switchback and her rapidly depleting patience.
When he finally agrees to guide a group of scholars into the nearby ruins of a ghost town, he discovers mysteries he can't begin to understand--and a far more human danger than no one expects.
This brings us more than halfway through the series already. I've seen a few reviews out there, but keep them coming. Any of these first three novellas can really be read in any order. So pick the one that piques your interest, and enjoy!
