Bunny, The Hidden Record by Her Majesty of Ink and Exit Wounds is set in Velinwood Court, where the Queen has withdrawn from the throne. Bunny shows us the strange world that's been formed, walking us through preserved hidden chambers and others in strange use. Inside Emma’s hidden Academy, ants are trained into an intelligence network, while Jack of Knives guards a war room filled with strategic records and memories of betrayal. Elsewhere, Velin’s untouched study is preserved after his disappearance, with unfinished writings and sealed letters that the Queen refused to open. As Bunny moves deeper into the Court’s history, each new disclosure brings us closer to understanding the full picture of the Queen and her Court, and all that remains preserved alongside the empty throne.
Well, Bunny. We'll always have the memory of pink glitter, right? Her Majesty of Ink and Exit Wounds uses Bunny, who is rampant with imagination, and a story that is totally and completely singular. Hand over heart, I have not come across a book like this ever. And that's a good thing. Bunny is pure theater, embodying both history and a living institution with, admittedly, very little likability but a satirical streak that made me want to chill with him. I also have a lot of questions for Carl from Information Technology about microwaves possessing sentience. The writing is intelligent and witty, and the mastery of a second-person POV with a first-person narrator—a framed second-person narrative—is no easy feat. But it is done in Bunny, The Hidden Record, and it is done well. The descriptive elements are great, from Percy’s office with its yellow boundary markings and paperwork crowding the room beneath sleeping cats, to the underground Archive and its endless shelves disappearing into darkness. Readers who adore surreal literary fiction, haunted courts, and character-centric speculative fiction will enjoy this novel. Very highly recommended.
