cyrrene 's review for:

A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher

4.5

adventurous mysterious medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: Yes

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: Complicated

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This story has wonderful dark fairytale vibes that are deeply hair raising at times, and borrows elements from The Goose Girl in different ways. It is also refreshing to read a story where the women are the most compelling characters (Penelope, for instance), and with a woman in her fifties, Hester, as the co-protagonist in the story. It is also a story about a controlling, abusive parent, but with magic involved.
