Nolan Santiago, a teenage boy in contemporary Arizona, has been diagnosed with epilepsy, but that's not actually what's going on in his head. In short, it's a complex book about slavery and freedom, and that means that terrible and wonderful things happen in it. As the title promises, this is a book which does a lot of examination of what it means to be bound, and what it can be like to have an unbreakably close tie to someone else, whether that bond is chosen or not, healthy or otherwise.
Corinne Duyvis's debut novel, Otherbound, is young adult fiction in the mode of Margo Lanagan or Frances Hardinge, which is to say that its genre classification comes from the age of its protagonists, as opposed to having anything else to do with its content-which can best be described as unflinching, although fortunately never gratuitous.
