Gather Her Round by Alex Bledsoe
4.0
4+ stars
Bledsoe is a master at creating a world and a story with the things he doesn't say, and his Tufa series is a shining example of how the art of subtlety can creep inside you and blossom. Now into book five I find that the vague sense of haunting that accompanies the setting and the characters of this series only serves to accentuate the duality of also feeling like I'm coming home when I start a Tufa story. Gather Her Round is at once a warm, welcoming blanket and a chilling, dark knot in your stomach.
I consider this series one of this year's finds and I look forward to more to come.
