Cursed Under London by Gabby Hutchinson Crouch
5.0
A big thank you to Gabby Hutchinson Crouch, Farrago Books and Netgalley for providing me with an eARC, allowing me to read this book early.
There was not a single thing I didn’t enjoy about this book whatsoever. The writing is very tongue-in-cheek and it was right up my alley (preferably not dripping with excrement thank you very much). The three main characters along with their small cat-like dragon are witty, funny, and very very likeable.
I would dive in front of a wooden stake for Amber in a heartbeat. 10/10 would pet and feed dried newts. She may be small but her personality more than makes up for the lack of height in those stumpy little legs. And little Tem has my whole heart in the palm of her hand and obviously “little-Amber” clutched tight in the other.
The pacing is deliciously adventurous and it’s wonderful. There never seems to be a dull moment or a lull in action for too long and the world building interwoven with history from Elizabethan London along with a touch of magic and a big heaping of the occult is a recipe for an unputdownable book.
I haven’t laughed this much reading a book in a long time, one of my favourites of 2024.
