Welcome to Litsy!

The most terrifying yet! though, that might be because i'm personally terrified of being trapped underground. and also, as an American, i am delighted by all the very amusing reactions that Easton has to all the very American goings on. plus the terror of the dark, the terror of enclosed spaces, the terror of things in the dark... and the circle around to the first book is all so brilliantly executed that i think this is my favorite book yet.

T. Kingfisher has become an auto-read for me. 'What Stalks the Deep is no exception. Alex Easton arrives in America on request of their friend Denton. Denton's cousin has disappeared into a coal mine under suspicious circumstances. The mood T. Kingfisher establishes in the mine is very well done. It is very claustrophobic and filled with dread. The audio version is great as well. The narrator's voice is very unique. 5 stars. Thanks, NetGalley!

Received to review via Netgalley (I love having autoapproval from Tor).

I loved Ingold and his fascination with the underground world. I continue to very much enjoy the concept of Sworn Soldiers and all the worldbuilding around Alex.

Poor Denton, though.

Didn't creep me out that much, this one, mostly only around the claustrophobia. I was right in there with the fascination bit.
