A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher
4.5
✨ NetGalley ARC Review ✨
Release Date: 6th August 2024
When it's comes to T.Kingfisher I am biased so it's comes as no surprise that I absolutely loved this.
📖 This is a very loose retelling of the Grimm Brothers Goose Girl. It's one of there darker Retellings and my personally favourite.
We follow Cordelia whose mother plans to marry a rich squire and then marry Cordelia off. Her mother is controlling, manipulative and a Sorceress with the ability to make people obedien. And when they move in with the squire Cordelia knows this can only end badly for this family.
Hester the Squires sister sees how Cordelia skrinks away from her mother and sits eerily still at dinner. And she knows she needs to save her brother from this marriage.
As tension rise and secrets are uncovered Cordelia must find the courage to confront her mother.
✨ Review ✨
As always I was instantly sucked into this. T.Kingfishers prose is gorgeous and atmospheric. It's dark and eerie and yet she treads humour and whimsically throughout. I adore her writing.
There is a strong sense of mystery and intrigued and complex characters and I particularly liked the way it explored abusive relationships and the struggle for empowerment.
I really loved the magic system, think Ella enchanted but make it horror. I wouldn't say this is scary but it definitely has some gory moments.
It's a really quick read and honestly I will recommend T.Kingfisher from now until the end of time. I can't wait for this to come out so I can stick a trophy on my bookshelf.
