Review: The White Pavilion by Ruth Fox

by MK French

Tierra Mejor, a world governed by clockwork, was built by La Relojero, the clockmaker. It has a Pattern and tiers within society, as well as seven major guilds to help the land run smoothly. The people believe in the myth, which is reenacted every year (known as cycle) by the dancers of the Pavilion. Imre had danced it before, but this time she had fallen and attracted the interest of the Prince, who demanded that she be placed in the Citadel within his Den full of concubines. The Prince has many enemies, and Imre doesn't know anything about this sort of politics and intrigue.
