A review by archergal
Daughter of Hounds by Caitlín R. Kiernan
3.0
I'm really of two minds about this book. I liked the writing quite a bit. It's a Lovecraftian homage of sorts, but a deftly done one. I don't think you need to know the references to enjoy the story. Well done there.
OTOH, I'm not sure I really followed what was happening that well. That's probably due more to how I read a book in little dribs & drabs instead of in long, concentrated reading sessions. It didn't help that one of the main characters was pretty unlikable. We do see a bit how she got that way. But I didn't love her sections. I guess anti heroes aren't my favorite type of character.
But on the whole, I liked the book well enough that I plan to check out more of the author's work.
