I didn’t expect to like this book as much as I did. I really didn’t like The Twisted Ones but I’m a fan of Poe and a fan of fungi so I had to give this one a try. I am so glad I did. Easton is absolutely delightful and charming in every way. All of the characters are well put together and very charming in their own rights. A little slow at the beginning but it picks up in the middle and Kingfisher takes us on a wild ride. I am very pleased with the amount of effort and research that Kingfisher put into this book. She really looked into the complexities of fungi, the medical field, and stayed historically accurate to the time period. It shows how much she cared about the work. Overall, very fun and genuinely creepy.
