The Folk Keeper by Franny Billingsley

4.0

I did it! I made it to 95 books for the year! This was a quick read but a delightfully unexpected story. I found it because it kept coming up on lists with The Perilous Gard and other fairy tale retellings. It definitely fits in with those. It actually reminds me a lot of A Curse as Dark as Gold, which I read earlier this year. It has the same somewhat historical feeling, although I’m not sure if it references any specific places. One thing I especially enjoyed were the constant references to holy days and a church calendar that is only vaguely identified.
