Part classic fantasy, part Charles Dickens, 'The Iron Dragon's Daughter' is a unique novel in the genre.
Jane is a changeling child, enslaved in a factory that makes the iron dragons - terrible engines of war - until she discovers the secret of the dragons' sentience and is able to use one of the beasts to escape. Then, her adventures as a thief and an outsider take her into a reality rich in wild magic and sharp-edged technology, a world where Time and shopping malls have a strange relationship and gryphons have a low capacity for alcohol.
A surprising and brilliant novel that undercuts the easy escapism of more conventional fantasy.
