⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The PERFECT book to start off the new year. I honestly have zero changes or additions to make to this book, it's perfect. The characters are likable, the world is gorgeous, even for people like me who aren't very familiar with the original story. If you are, though, there are plenty of easter eggs amid the obvious similarities to Alice in Wonderland. Marissa Meyer writes insanity arcs so well, and this book is a new favorite of mine. ❤️

A Sorceress Comes to Call | T. Kingfisher

pick

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 8h

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.

What Moves the Dead | T. Kingfisher

4.6⭐️ If you have not read Kingfisher yet, just do it. I have truly enjoyed everything I have read by her, and this is no exception. Add on the fact that this is a retelling of the House of Usher by one of my all-time favorites, Edgar Allen Poe, and you have this perfect blend of edgy, Gothic, unsettling, yet beautiful, descriptive horror. #Fabel #RoaringWolfFrightNight #BookSpinBingo #DoubleSpin

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!
