I don't think it's possible for me to have a bad time with a T. Kingfisher book at this point, but I don't think this is as good as What Moves the Dead. I did like the way the story explores the impact of war on soldiers, and I still really like Alex as a character, but Alex was meandering a lot more in this book. The horror elements didn't really start until I was more than halfway through, and that part was a lot more fun to me compared to the beginning.
I do have a massive soft spot for Alex and Angus, though.
