T.Kingfisher has been a firm favourite author of mine ever since I stumbled upon „The Hollow Places“ a couple of years ago.
As with the previous books I have read by her, I was not disappointed in the slightest. You can’t beat the way she builds up the tension and atmosphere in her stores, with drops of humour to lighten the mood when needed. In fact when the grub like body brushes against her, I shuddered myself! The characters are beautifully written and often having thoughts similar to how I imagine I would respond in these situations.
I imagine if Hermes could speak he would have been equally as sassy as Mousebones was in ‚The Raven and the Reindeer‘.

Is horror-comedy a thing? I walked into this book ready to be creeped out a bit, maybe even scared a bit. I walked out having laughed so many times that I am unsure if I am not easily scared/creeped out, or if the book is actually as funny as I think it is! Based on A Sorceress Comes To Call, I’m going to assume it’s just who T Kingfisher is and Im going to keep reading these books because they are epic! I enjoyed every minute of this book. I did an immersion read and listened to audiobook while following along with physical book, the narrator was top notch! 2024 has secured another auto-buy author addition for me!
