WHOA this is beautiful! One of my most favorite books ever! I love the way you captured her expression, and Saracen looks absolutely nasty! A+ work

Her expression is spot-on. And Saracen looks as furious as usual.

I just love Mosca's murderous goose! Also, I like the expression on her angry little face in this picture.

Nice staging with the Heart of Consequence there! Is all the white a reference to Lady Tamarind?

I am reading the book now, and this picture makes me want to go and read pages and pages til I fall asleep, for I am pretty sure the creativity of the book inspired creativity in this.
Lovely

Thankyou! I love turnips. ^^

And yes, Frances Hardinge is an amazing author. I'm living in the same city as her too! I hope I come across her sometime so I can act like a fan girl. Tom Yorke lives here (Oxford) too

Finally, someone eklse who knows about it. I've been earching this site for signs of other fans forever. Fandom aside, you did an excelent job. I like how well it matched with the waqy things actualy were with the book. No rose colored glasses for a truely prominent and different story. You captured it's essence wonderfully.
