I thought this was a great showing by T. Kingfisher though the beginning of the book moved a bit too slow and was really surprised this was pushed as horror, I mainly got cozy vibes while reading it (that is not a bad thing). I do hope that we get to see these characters in future works, I loved Selena, Copper, Grandma Billy, Father Aguirre, etc. Snake-Eater follows Selena who we find has left her long-term partner with her dog Copper and a few of her […]

Paladin's Strength by T. Kingfisher

by 1 Comment

Bingo: I am using this for the “Red” Bingo square. because the cover is red. Istvhan is a former berserker, a paladin left without a god. Clara is a were-nun from an order of shapeshifting sisters. He is on the trail of a mysterious killer; she is on a mission to rescue her kidnapped sisters. As their quests bring them together, they will face bandits, creepy rabbits, living crockery, gladiator pits, and maybe (just maybe) emotional vulnerability. This was a fun addition to T. Kingfisher’s […]

Alex Easton Comes to America!

What Stalks the Deep by T. Kingfisher

by Leave a Comment

Alex Easton, our beloved Gallacian sworn soldier, is back for another adventure, accompanied as always by the stalwart manservant Angus. Alex has been summoned to America, of all places, by their friend Dr. Dennison, who was one of the witnesses to the horrors that unfolded at the house of Usher. Dennison’s cousin has gone missing while exploring an abandoned coal mine in the wilds of West Virginia, and Dennison thinks that something supernatural may be afoot. Alex, who is certainly not claustrophobic, agrees to travel […]

Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher

Look, I really like T Kingfisher’s work in general, so I’ve had this on hold essentially from when it was available to go on hold. I read it in a single day, I think in a single sitting (although this latter part not that surprising as I think I was on a train and therefore not much else to do). I also really like fairytale retellings, even the ones that aren’t Beauty and the Beast. But this book just wasn’t it, and I think it’s […]

“Travelling Through Thick Woods With a Troop of Goblins Is Not Unlike a Nature Hike With a Group of Grumpy Toddlers With Weapons”

Nine Goblins by T Kingfisher

by Leave a Comment

I’ve been reading some pretty heavy books recently, and have been writing some rather hefty reviews to match. So I’ve decided to tackle something a little bit lighter this time, and T Kingfisher has provided.  Nine Goblins is basically the story of two people trying to do their very best: Sergeant Nessilka, leader to her goblin cohort, and Sings-to-Trees the elven veterinarian. The goblins have been at war with the humans for quite awhile; pushed out of their own lands with nowhere else to go, […]

Wow. I thought this was head and shoulders above the last book in the series. I love the character of Easton, and hearing about Gallacia. The last book, What Feasts at Night just went on and on with not enough explanation for me. I also didn’t really love the ending. What Stalks the Deep though gives us even more development of Easton, we get to follow up with Dr. Denton and the adventure now moves to America, specifically an old mine in West Virginia. I found the overall plot […]
