The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home by Jeffrey Cranor, Joseph Fink
4.0
3.5 ⭐️, rounded up
I mostly enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the swashbuckling and the historical fiction aspects of it. It was way different from what I expected.
However, it suffered from the same faults that Alice Isn’t Dead suffered from - long, long sections of telling what was going on. I could only get through those sections because I was listening to the audiobook.
I also wish there had been more Night Vale in the book. There were bits of it throughout, but I would’ve loved some more elements of the strange throughout the book even if there wasn’t more taking place in the town of Night Vale.
Having said that, I did still really enjoy this book! I loved the crazy characters and the story. There were just a few issues that made me take off a bit on my rating.
