The Unseen (The Reel of Rhysia) by Lilla Glass is a captivating fantasy adventure that weaves an intricate tapestry of diverse characters and multiple worlds. Elwyn, our unassuming protagonist, is a master thief who excels at blending into the shadows. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she flees to the quiet town of Amblewick, seeking refuge from a relentless syndicate and a cunning trickster. The narrative takes an enchanting twist as Elwyn finds herself entangled with a band of intriguing individuals, including a cutthroat assassin, a bored prince, and a seemingly gravely ill little girl. Together, they embark on a perilous journey to save not just one world but multiple worlds, all while struggling to coexist without turning on each other.
