A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher

mysterious slow-paced

2.5

I kind of enjoyed this book but it was also just a whole lot of people sitting around chit chatting about WHAT to do, and taking their sweet time actually doing it. Agree with other reviewers that the ending is so rushed. Hester is the saving grace of the book, an ageing spinster with knees that give her endless amounts of grief and a flame for an old lover that refuses to go out. She’s probably meant to be written that way, but Cordelia is such a wet wipe that it made her chapters a bit annoying to read. The servants were well written though, funny and biting, exercising as much autonomy as one can in servitude.

Honestly just felt a bit ‘and what?’ by the end.
