Another great entry in the series. I loved the atmosphere and setting of this book. Alex is a great narrator and manages to add in humor to a story that can otherwise be quite dark. I was expecting more mushroom related horrors after the first book, especially since Miss Potter was involved but was pleasantly surprised by the different direction it went. Can't wait to read the next in the series.

“What Feasts at Night” is a horror-fantasy novella by T. Kingfisher and the second book in the “Sworn Soldier” series. The story follows retired soldier Alex Easton, who is asked to investigate a family hunting lodge in Gallacia. Upon arrival, they find the caretaker dead, the lodge in disarray, and the grounds troubled by a strange, uncanny silence. The villagers whisper that a breath-stealing monster from folklore has taken up residence in Easton’s home.

I liked this one better than the first one: more clearly supernatural while also being more firmly grounded. Perhaps because the first one was entirely built out of a different story, where this was original; or mostly, there seemed a few faint echoes (a Lovecraftian hint, for one thing) of other pieces. But basically it's own thing more, and that worked better for me. But they're both good, and if this one is a smidgen better it's not a huge gap.
