When a Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher

November 7, 2024 by Malin 2 Comments

4.5 stars CBR16 Bingo: Dun Dun (From pretty much the first chapter, where Cordelia is “made obedient” there is a creeping sense of dread all the way through this novel) Cordelia knows her mother isn’t like other mothers. Other mothers can’t take over your limbs and puppet you, or force you to stay still and motionless for hours or days on end. Other mothers permit doors that can be closed in the house and let their daughters have friends. Other mothers don’t have a magical […]

A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher

Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ARC. It hasn’t affected the contents of my review. Ugh, bad ARC reviewer. I’ve had this book finished since the end of August and I’ve been totally dragging my feet on this review for some reason. And it was a good, fun book! You should read it! T. Kingfisher basically has three types of book at this point: 1) Cozy horror, 2) Fantasy romance, and 3) Fairytale-esque dark(ish) fantasy. This book falls into the third category. It […]

A Sorceress Comes to Call by T Kingfisher

July 16, 2024 by Emmalita 6 Comments

What happens when the weirdest cozy fantasy horror novelist you know of becomes inspired by Bridgerton? A Sorceress Comes to Call is what happens. T. Kingfisher blends the Regency romance of Bridgerton with the Goose Girl fairy tale, a very bad mom, a heaping tablespoon horror, shakes it all up and serves it over a middle aged woman and a teenage girl who are willing to fight an evil who isn’t afraid to kill the innocent. I am 8 books deep in a T. Kingfisher binge. I […]
