Nettle & Bone is the story of a shy nun who decides to kill a prince with absolutely no plan, and the family she finds along the way. It is funny, cute, macabre, intriguing, and mysterious all at once. A great singular read that weaves a tale of perfectly reasonable people doing some pretty insane things in some very silly ways for just causes.

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!

This book was a dark and brooding fairytale that starts with cannibalism and ends with demon possessed hens, loveable evil godmothers, a dog with three lives, and a princess who carries out a plot that changes a kingdom.  I'm not hooked on T. KINGFISHER!
