emotional
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
4.5
The Knight and the Butcherbird is a stunning dystopian fairy tale. Shrike is the town storyteller. Her wife, May, has turned into a demon, but Shrike is unwilling to believe that she is now a total monster. When a knight arrives to hunt the demon, Shrike does everything she can to keep May safe - and finds out the knight is hiding secrets too.
This was a wild ride that had me feeling all of the emotions. The writing was absolutely fantastic and so descriptive. The story was both beautiful and hauntingly sad. It may be a short story, but it had the perfect amount of plot and world building.
Many thanks to Amazon Original Stories and NetGalley for the ARC.
