I first read this around the time I turned 10, so not only has it been a long time between readings, but the first time I read it I lacked much of the context necessary to understand what I was reading. Reading it nearly 40 years later, I think about this what I think about most King books: Really cool idea, should be shorter. Todd in the first half (not in the second half, fingers crossed), reminds me of several of the bros in power right now.

Alluring cover. Intriguing world-building. Quirky gargoyle sidekick. Sweet budding romance. Devastating villainy. I‘m in for Book 2.

This is such a fascinating read. It was the perfect fall read. It had me on the edge of my seat. I can‘t wait to read the rest of the series. It‘s going to be so great. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A soft pick. Ideal for fans of reinventions of the mythos of Persephone and Eurydice.

Lyrically written love story that follows goddess Matilda and mortal man Vincent. A prequel to Ross‘s ‘Divine Rivals‘ duology. While the first book of that remains the strongest to me, this was lovely.

I hope Ross writes a book for Bade & Adria‘s story - theirs was largely off page here but was more sadly romantic to me.

I thought this book would be all about the titular book, but only the first few stories related to The King in Yellow. I found some of them, especially the first, deliciously creepy, but some were just baffling (the one with the sculptor may have made more sense to the original audience). Then there was a cool story about time weirdness, and then some about Paris? Some with war and some with art students? I expected consistency and found none.
