From the award–winning author of The Lie Tree, “a delicious combination of historical adventure, coming-of-age tale, and supernatural intrigue” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
Sometimes, when a person dies, their spirit goes looking for somewhere to hide. Some people have space within them, perfect for hiding
Young Makepeace has learned to defend herself from the ghosts that try to possess her in the night, desperate for refuge, but one day a dreadful event causes her to drop her guard. And now there’s a spirit inside her.
The spirit is wild, brutish, and strong, and it may be her only defense when she is sent to live with her father’s rich and powerful family. There is talk of civil war, and they need people like her to protect their dark and terrible family secret. But as she plans to escape and heads out into a country torn apart by war, Makepeace must decide which is worse: possession—or death.
“Darkly splendid . . . a wonderful, resonant narrative whose subtlety and insight will challenge, entertain and enchant.” —The Guardian
“A Skinful of Shadows is outlandishly creative and thoroughly blood-chilling. Her storytelling is visceral and unfurls at an exciting pace, making this novel a wonderful, weird and terrifying addition to her body of work.” —Shelf Awareness (starred review)
“A book that only Hardinge could write . . . [a] masterful and spooky historical fantasy.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
“Hardinge’s writing is stunning, and readers will be taken hostage by its intensity, fascinating developments, and the fierce, compassionate girl leading the charge.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Deliberate, impeccable, and extraordinary.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

A bit of a slow start, but once it got going it was an amazing, exciting and gripping tale.

Loved listening to it although I went a bit "let's get on with it already" towards the end.

Slow start, but after the first couple of chapters it picks up and never slows down again. It is paced really well, and left me wanting to keep reading. From the historical setting, to the "magic", to the characters, everything was well explored and developed and interesting.

I like the book very much, a bit dark in the beginning, it is getting more and more interesting, slowly warming my heart.
