Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. The premise is interesting, but the book reads like a "young adult" novel with more emphasis on a teenager's self-centered psychological world view than on anything actually happening. While the world-building was interesting with potential for a greater over-arching story, the characters' shallow natures and general self-interests didn't elevate the story or enhance the telling of almost-nothing-happens. If you're looking for a *good* introspective about an artificial human, find another book. ( ) no reviews | add a review

Born of wood, cloth, and a substantial dose of magic, Velsa is a Fanarlem, a beautiful artificial girl. Raised to be a concubine, she has seen her friends at the House of Perfumed Ribbons sold off to be the pets of wealthy men. Now her own dreaded day has come. Grau Thanneau is a kind and handsome sorcerer who expects to own a spectacular piece of spellwork-he doesn't realize that everything he has been told about Fanarlem is a lie. Velsa is not a dull-witted doll, but an intelligent and luminous soul who captivates his heart. Neither of them expected to fall in love, in a land where the law will never recognize her as his equal... When Grau brings Velsa with him as he serves in the border patrol, they encounter odd magic sent from the High Sorcerer's palace-or is it magic at all? War is brewing, and with it, the winds of opportunity. Velsa has powers of her own, powers no Fanarlem girl should have, but when the enemy attacks, she might be the only one who can stand against them. No library descriptions found.
