    Summary

    27 Filigree Street seems to collect oddities: a clairvoyant watchmaker who sometimes can’t leave the house, a workhouse girl who would rather make fusee chains than play with other children, a pianist-turned-telegraphist-and-back-again who sees colors in sound. They fit together better than anyone might have expected.

    The Marvellous, like all things the Bazaar has a hand in, has one unspoken rule: whatever you do, don’t fall in love.

    Summary

    “It is only natural that you should be out of practice,” I said. “It will come back to you.”
    Holmes looked at me in surprise, as if he had forgotten I was there.
    “Your violin. It has been a long time, to be sure, but you have many more years of experience behind you.”
    His lips formed a slight smile that did not reach his eyes. “If only it were that simple.”
    -
    Holmes does not return from his hiatus unscathed, no matter how much he would like to pretend otherwise.

    Summary

    “Some touch of the artist wells up within me and calls insistently for a well-staged performance… the quick inference, the subtle trap, the clever forecast of coming events, the triumphant vindication of bold theories- are these not the pride and justification of our life’s work?”
    -The Valley of Fear by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

    Armand knows how to set a scene.

    Or, a look at season one, through the eyes of the man who staged it all.

    Summary

    Greek is Eskander’s language, and Keria does love the way he speaks it, but it is also the Library’s language. There’s nothing intimate or personal about it, not when nearly every book she mirrors is in Greek, every sign, every list, every instruction she’s given. Arabic, though, is Keria’s language, and it is hers in a way Greek could never be.

     

    After Eskander is gone, Keria speaks Arabic to her son.

    Summary

    Christopher Wolfe is stuck on a space station 7.8 light years away from Earth. As the communications officer, it’s his job to listen for signs of extraterrestrial life. It’s not as exciting as it sounds.

    He’s not alone. The Horus mission is led by Captain Niccolo Santi, and the scientific studies funded by the Library are conducted by Lieutenant Zara Cole. Oh, and then there’s Thoth, the artificial intelligence that runs the station and keeps them all alive.

    448 days into the mission, Wolfe’s only goal is to get back to Earth in one piece. But things are about to get strange, to say the very least.

    Summary

    The woman smiles, thin and blade-like. “You’re Glain Wathen.” It isn’t a question.
    “Yes, sir.” Without the uniform, Glain doesn’t know the woman’s precise rank, but she’s certainly no recruit.
    “I’ve heard about you,” the woman continues. “You’re only a recruit, but I’m told you’re a right pain in the ass.” She laughs. “You never know when to quit.”
    “That’s right,” Glain says with a hint of pride. She’s lost more fights than she’s won in the few months she’s been here, but she doesn’t make it easy. If nothing else, her mother always said, Glain was persistent.
