Representaion Supposing Books Foundling (Monster Blood Tattoo #1)

Set in the world of the Half-Continent—a land of tri-corner hats and flintlock pistols—the Monster Blood Tattoo trilogy is a world of predatory monsters, chemical potions and surgically altered people. Foundling begins the journey of Rossamund, a boy with a girl’s name, who is just about to begin a dangerous life in the service of the Emperor. What starts as a simple journey is threatened by encounters with monsters—and people, who may be worse. Learning who to trust and who to fear is neither easy nor without its perils, and Rossamund must choose his path carefully.

Complete with appendices, maps, illustrations, and a glossary, Monster Blood Tattoo grabs readers from the first sentence and immerses them in an entirely original fantasy world with its own language and lore.

2.80I messed up with this book.Usually when I know I'm going to give up on a book I get ready to search how it ends because although I don't want to spend anymore time reading it, sometimes I still want to know (quickly) how everything turned out. Well, for this one, before I even decided fully I wanted to stop reading It I had already found myself reading the summary of the book.. Whoops. I guess subconsciously I did end up deciding.I at least gave it until 1/3 of the way through! (By the way,

Just as good the second time!

I appreciated what the author was trying to do in the book, and some of the interactions and scenarios were mildly interesting in a broader perspective, but I was overall not captured by this book. Perhaps I am not the target audience for this book it is a young adult book and while this doesnt disqualify it from being a worthwhile read, it would be unrealistic to ignore this fact. Perhaps this book was not what I wanted (knowingly or not) to read at the time - if I wanted a much deeper book

I'm going to join the Monster Blood Cult - that's how much I loved this book! I can't believe this wasn't on my radar having been published so long ago. It is clever and emotional and tumultuous and thoughtful and adventurous. It's delicious to discover such a gem! I'm sorry I didn't get to it sooner since I think my life is richer having experienced Cornish's world and his main character, Rossamund with the pink lips. This has all the markings of a story that I love - hero/heroine quest,

There are very few teen fantasy titles that come along that I find myself raving to all my co-workers about. And I mean ALL of my co-workers. I don't care if you haven't read a teen novel in years, I'm throwing this one at you.The unfortunately named Rossamund (yes, he's a boy and we'll call him Rosie for short) is a foundling, raised in an orphanage where he has little hope of any real future but dreams of a life at sea. Fate, however, has other things in store for him--Rosie has been tapped to

Rossamund, a boy abandoned as a baby, is raised as a foundling in an orphanaged. When he gets older, he is recruited to be trained as a Lamplighter. But the boy gets on the wrong ship and the adventures start.This is the first book in a series and felt very incomplete to me. I realize they are setting the stage for many future adventures and introducing characters (some of which are very interesting like Europe, the monster killer, and Fouracres) But this book really failed to excite me.

I was actually more than a little disappointed by this book. Cornish has built a wonderful world, full of fascinating people and places. Unfortunately he felt the need to share every detail with the reader. This book was not so much a novel as a prologue, and for two-thirds of the book, the main character Rossamund just wanders around, having things happen to him. When he finally gets a little gumption and the story starts moving, the novel ends. And the last 120 pages are glossaries. I can see
