Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt

4.0

Keturah is a cool name, and yes, that is why I initially took an interest in this book. I'm glad I did too because I quite liked it! It has a simple fairytale-like narrative, and Keturah seems like a reimagined Scheherazade as she delays Lord Death by withholding a story's ending until the next night. She doesn't drag it out one thousand and one nights, but she does make it last long enough to save her town and find her true love. I liked Gretta and Tailor's side story as well and how much her friends wanted to help Keturah.
