There is one particular scene where the main character's teeth are made to dance in her mouth and one of them is removed. It is very reminiscent of the "imagining my teeth falling out" dream but can be quite disturbing. There is also a character in the city which has a "curse-child", which is described like a marionette or puppet that chokes and harms her.arialovegreen's review

The main cast of characters are endearing, contrary, and have so much human nuance to them that I absolutely adore. T. Kingfisher has a very unique writing style that strikes a balance between elaborative story telling and simplicity. I love their ability to explain just what needs to be explained, while keeping little mysteries alive.
I had a blast reading this book, and I look forward to reading some of T. Kingfisher's other works!
