What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

dark mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

“House of Usher”, but with “The Last of Us” energy.

I read this in about 4 hours (audiobook at 1.5 speed). Highly recommend the audiobook. The trans rep and non-binary pronouns feel both clever and natural. And the supporting characters are so charming.

TW: brief transphobia (more ignorant than malicious, IMHO), horror elements including body horror, animal death
