The Seventh Perfection
by Daniel Polansky
Hugo Award finalist Daniel Polansky crafts an innovative, mind-bending fantasy mystery in The Seventh Perfection.
When a woman with perfect memory sets out to solve a riddle, the threads she tugs on could bring a whole city crashing down. The God-King who made her is at risk, and his other servants will do anything to stop her.
To become the God-King’s Amanuensis, Manet had to master all seven perfections, developing her body and mind to the peak of human performance. She remembers everything that has happened to her, in absolute clarity, a gift that will surely drive her mad. But before she goes, Manet must unravel a secret which threatens not only the carefully prepared myths of the God-King’s ascent, but her own identity and the nature of truth itself.

I resisted requesting a copy of this purely based on commitments but the cover and description are truly making me regret that decision.
Drat.

Have you read any others by Polansky? The Builders is one of my all time favourites. And I really need to carry on with the Low Town series.

I love The Builders! It’s like The Wind in the Willows had a grimdark makeover! 😂 But I also need to finish Low Town… slacking as usual!
