Why you should read Frances Hardinge's books:
Most of them have little to no romance (I hate amatonormativity)
She is really good with words? Like idk how to explain it but the way she uses them is... idk how to describe it
A lot of her protagonists can be seen as autistic or having ADHD if you autism hard enough /hj
The book covers are always absolutely gorgeous
Some of my story Under a Golden Moon's worldbuilding originated because of Deeplight (I will not elaborate for reasons of Spoilers)
Her social media is full of things like this:
Tumblr media
which is just. Relatable.
I occasionally make references to her books. I don't think I've made any here but there's a first time for everything :)
Her worldbuilding is so cool like seriously
The first book of hers I read was A Face Like Glass when I was about eight or so (I think?) I got it for Christmas last year, and it's somehow better than I remember?
She's definitely influenced my writing style a lot because her writing is just ridiculously good???
I think I've read most of her books, if not all

just read unraveller by frances hardinge and it was soooooooo good. the exploration of justice vs. punishment and anger vs. hatred through the lens of fairytale curses! the purely platonic yet deeply complicated relationship between a teen girl and boy at the heart of the story! the creepy marshes! the flesh-eating horse!

There was no mask. There was no mask at all... Across her features, anxiety, resolution, and remorse were being swamped by a surge of recognition, affection, and surprise. Seeing her smile was like being hit in the face with a big, gold gong.

If someone knows they're a man or boy, that's what matters. Outside appearances aren't important. It's what's inside that counts—who we are in our souls. She can see the truth, even if others wouldn't.

‘But in the name of the most holy, Mosca, of all the people you could have taken up with, why Eponymous Clent?’ Because I’d been hoarding words for years, buying them from peddlers and carving them secretly on to bits of bark so I wouldn’t forget them, and then he turned up using words like ‘epiphany’ and ‘amaranth’. Because I heard him talking in the marketplace, laying out sentences like a merchant rolling out rich silks. Because he made words and ideas dance like flames and something that was damp and dying came alive in my mind, the way it hadn’t since they burned my father’s books. Because he walked into Chough with stories from exciting places tangled around him like maypole streamers… Mosca shrugged. ‘He’s got a way with words.’
