Well, what can I say but fabulous? Extremely well written, Lost Property is a tale that sweeps you away. Wonderful images spring to mind, a picture painted with words. Fantastic touches add to the vivid imagery; the elf and the petal, the rain falling down like tears.

Some tales just read so smoothly that I forget I’m reading. When you cease to see the written word, but the pictures created in your mind, you know you have found a gem. This is one of those tales. Some people can write, some have talent, some have a gift. Fiona glass has the latter.

Lost Property tells a tale of a lost elf who finds himself in an infirmary. Not recalling his name or who and what he was/is, the healers name him Irik. Each day he watches the sun as it moves around the ward, bases his day on where the sun is shining. He carves grooves to note the passing of the days.

Irik makes one friend who visits him from time to time, Joshua. With each visit Joshua gives Irik a lesson about the world and slowly Irik’s memory starts to return. When Irik’s advances toward Joshua are spurned, he flees towards the heat of the sun, and home.

What a lovely, lovely tale. I think I have fallen in love with Fiona Glass’ prose. Bravo!

Five cats.
