The thing that brings Nagspeake to life is the layers of world-building that Kate Milford brings to the story. But seeing as you might not be able to travel in the real world for a while yet, you should definitely travel to Nagspeake via your local library or bookstore as soon as possible. And, reader, in case your own googling brought you here for some reason–no, Nagspeake is all made up. With Kate Milford’s Nagspeake…I just had to check to be sure. I daydreamed about slipping into Middle Earth. I’m a full grown, college-educated adult, and I had to google “Is Nagspeake a real place?” because I have rarely encountered a fictional world so believable and compelling. So as soon as my baby wakes up to nurse, I take the excuse to grab my laptop and do a little research. I shut the book and turn off my light, basking in that -just-finished-an-amazing-book feeling–you know the one. Imagine me, about five or six years ago, up waaayyy past my bedtime to finish Greenglass House by Kate Milford.
