Nettle & Bone is a perfect spooky season read! I absolutely loved it. The first chapter made me think it would be very dark and creepy (not my vibe) so I was a bit nervous it wouldn’t be for me, but it was just the right amount of dark, with occasional flashes of (manageable) spooky and a lot of relatable moments and humour.

I really enjoyed Marra, the FMC who is much more comfortable embroidering than questing, but is determined to save her sister. BUT I completely fell in love with the side characters. They were dynamic and funny and worked incredibly well opposite Marra.

Bonedog and the demon chicken have my heart.

Something I liked about this book was there was always the sense that no matter how spookily dark things got, the true-to-life things were painted as worse. The world may be full of scary creatures and phenomena, but the worst monsters are the human beings hiding behind their power. And that if you’re determined to take on the worst of them, you can face the rest.

4.5

This author never fails for me! Such a unique, complex take on the classic fantasy quest. Less romance-y than the other books I’ve read from her but no less delightful. The typical T. Kingfisher formula: spooky and a little bit horrifying threaded with humour and underpinned by kindness and hope. Loved it.
