What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

dark mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

i mean, it’s alright i guess. 

i wasn’t spooked or anything but i had no idea it was a retelling of edgar allan poe when i picked it up, which is on me i admit (i don’t like eap)

regardless, the book was boring. 

not bad, not good, just blah. it was quick which is why i finished it in one sitting, but i just didn’t care about anything that happened.

and fungus? really? alright then, i guess that’s the hill we’re dying on.


the only character i hoped lived and that i actually liked was hob. yes, the horse. he was the only good person in here.

this would work well as a short film or movie i think. the vibes were there and it would’ve been more eerie and creepy in film form.
