What Feasts at Night
by T. Kingfisher
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Loveable characters:
Yes
Thanks to NetGalley and Tor Nightfire for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
This was not what I expected. This was leaning more character-driven than plot-driven with the horror. I kinda grew bored around halfway through when Alex was refusing to believe that their home has a ghost, especially after What Moves the Dead. Nonetheless, once the horror came in, I was seated and the novella grew on me. I got to learn more about Alex and their experience with "solider's heart" (aka PTSD). I think this was a worthwhile sequel and looking forward to Sworn Soldier #3. Come into it knowing this leans more character-driven and the horror elements are belated.
Content warnings: PTSD, death, war
