The Secret History of Moscow by Ekaterina Sedia

However, this doesn't sit well with Loharri, the Mechanic who created Mattie and still has the key to her heart-literally…ĬLASSIFICATION: With its intriguing blend of steampunk, gothic romance, political intrigue, and fairy tale spirit-not to mention metaphors on such real world issues as terrorism and racial discrimination-“ The Alchemy of Stone” is like a bizarre, but captivating cross between Frankenstein, Pan’s Labyrinth, Katsuhiro Otomo’s Steamboy, Tool’s animated stop-motion music videos, and the animated films of Hayao Miyazaki ( Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle). With the old order quickly giving way to the new, Mattie discovers powerful and dangerous secrets that could completely alter the balance of power in the city of Ayona. PLOT SUMMARY: Mattie, an intelligent automaton skilled in the use of alchemy, finds herself caught in the middle of a conflict between gargoyles, the Mechanics, and the Alchemists. Her next book will be “ The House of Discarded Dreams” (TBA 2009) which she is currently writing. “ The Alchemy of Stone” is Ekaterina’s newest novel.
