3.5 ⭐ T. Kingfisher has become a master of retold fairytales. This book is loosely based on the Goose Girl tale. It‘s not a tale that I am completely familiar with, so this book was something completely new. While new it held all the classic components of a fairytale. You have the dark and evil entity, in this case of sorceress, who just wants someone with a lot of money that she can control. You have the ingenue, the young one

LibrarianRyan that is beholden to the evil character in some way. In this case, the daughter. Then you have your action. The Sorcerous plans to wed landed gentry for a better future. While this doesn‘t sound bad in theory, this sorcerer controls people. Her familiar, a white horse, is not really a horse and not nice. The brother and sister who the sorceress has marked as her next victim take her young girl as well. The sister knows that strange things are 4h
LibrarianRyan afoot because this woman is doom. The story progresses from there. I did enjoy the story, but it is not one of my favorites by Kingfisher. It was not predictable which I enjoyed, but it did have some drag.

While I liked Nettle and Bone okay, I did not like this! I don‘t think T. kingfisher is my jam. I found it a predictable, trite story. The audio was terrible IMO. This is a southern family? Why does the grandmother have an accent sliding from Yankee upper society to almost British? WTH? #authoramonth @Soubhiville

TheBookHippie 🫣😅 I cannot read it 🫣 22h
Gissy I didn‘t like it either and Helmock and Silver was just okay to me. 18h

I‘m doing #authoramonth and #serieslove2026 plus I‘m part of four book clubs. Two of them don‘t meet over the summer, but then there‘s #CampLitsy instead!

I thought about trying #readordonate again, but rehoming my husband‘s books will probably take at least a few more months.

Another great read by T. Kingfisher. A Southern Gothic supernatural Horror with a heavy dose of humor. Loved it!!

Thanks to #AuthorAMonth book club for introducing new-to-me authors I would not have otherwise read.

I had a little dinner, and I think I‘m finally warmed up again after standing outside in the wind for a while this afternoon.

I‘m taking a break from long book club books to start this #authoramonth selection.

Fantastic fairytale retelling:

~20% Snow White
~10% Alice in Wonderland
~70% All its own fantasy thing with a splash of romance

Definitely a lot of fun and fast moving!

BiblioLitten I feel like Kingfisher is such a reliable author. 3h

And my first T. Kingfisher is in the books! This one was creepy and funny and there‘s a dog and now I just have to decide which one to read next for #authoramonth.

AshleyHoss820 I‘ve got this one on my radar to read for Kingfisher too! I‘m starting with this one: 3d

Reading the book with my own bone dog.
