A Face Like Glass

"One of my top three books this year. Beneath the earth, the folk of Caverna craft wonders: The right cheese will give you visions of the future, while the wrong wine can obliterate your memory. Even facial expressions are precisely calibrated by master Facesmiths and need to be taught to Cavernans as infants – but each one has a price. Into Caverna’s world of smiling assassins and vicious courtiers tumbles Neverfell, a small girl with no memory and a face so terrifying she has to keep it behind a mask. But piece by exquisite piece, the cogs of her history fall into place, and the machine they make threatens to upend Caverna completely."
