Leave it to our Queen T.kingfisher to write an absurdly twisted book in the most beautiful, humorous and cozy way possible.
The story was wonderful overall! Though there is one thing that keeps on bothering me. I found that there were so many little trinkets scattered around the story that had potential to weave together to form a more dramatic and interesting plot-line. Don't get me wrong, I loved reading about a darkly cozy story, but I cant help but feel atleast something could've been done with those pieces aswell
Such as
- The cursed-child puppet and the woman
- The Goblin Market
- Fenris's backstory be included more
- More insight on the Dust-wife's power
- The Saint that came to Marra in the market and than mysteriously in the catacombs
- More political intrigue
Nonetheless, I had an enjoyable time with it and adored it~
