There are so many banger lines in this book! I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book as the sequel to a retelling of a well known horror tale, but this book is so strong on its own! I love the continuation of Angus and Miss Potter's acquaintance, the new additions to the cast of cha acters, and the exploration of Easton's home country. I also really enjoyed the addition of situationally and indivi ually specific pronouns!

I just about cried in the library reading the scene with the horses when Hob's face slid off like a moth wing, sticking to Easton. That scenario and Easton's own terror was like an externalization of my actually real nightmares. Great writing, but that scene hurt so bad. But at least dream Hob didn't seem to be in pain as he crumbled.

While there is no intentional cruelty, there is animal injury during a dream sequence in the last third of the book. More detail is listed in the spoiler part of my review.

4/5 ⭐️

As the sequel of the book that got me back into reading, this was an instant buy! Following these characters again reminded me how much I like T. Kingfisher’s writing! This book was fast-paced with the perfect amount of dreary. It feels like a gloomy day right before it rains. I will be putting all T. Kingfisher’s books on my TBR at this point.
