The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden is a hauntingly beautiful story that will slip under your skin and stay with you long after it is done. Arden has masterfully researched and written a World War I story that shows the horror of war and the human connection it can forge. It is a beautiful story with characters you care deeply about. The plot and prose draw you in, and you want to stay wrapped in them. I didn't want to put this book down. The Warm Hands of Ghosts is easily one of my new favorite books, and I can't wait for others to be enchanted by this tale. 

Thank you to Del Rey and Netgalley for the eARC.
