If the words nineteenth
century New York City, Crossroads,
Good Versus Evil, Orphans, and Construction of the Brooklyn Bridge excite you, then hello and
welcome! You are my soul sister! If not, then you are probably not as excited
as I am to read The Broken Lands by
Kate Milford.
I loved the companion novel, The Boneshaker, particularly the main character, Natalie. But even
without Natalie, I have faith in Milford’s ability to weave a complex and deeply
moving story resonating with fantastical historic nostalgia.
Also, the summary mentions Coney Island, which, judging by
how Milford handled the Nostrum Fair in The
Boneshaker, can only mean good things.
