What Feasts at Night by T. Kingfisher

adventurous mysterious tense fast-paced

4.0

 Welcome back to the world of Alex Easton and their series of horrific adventures! I was so excited to read this audiobook and get back into the spooky world of Gallacia. 

In this installment of the Sworn Soldier series, Easton is headed to their family hunting lodge after the events of What Moves the Dead. Once they get there, they find their caretaker dead and the homestead eerily silent no matter what they do. Now they have to uncover the many mysteries of their home while interacting with a whole new cast of characters. 

I am not going to lie, I was a little nervous when I started this book.  What Moves the Dead was incredible and I had huge expectations when it came to What Feasts at Night, but let me tell you this lived up to the hype. In fact, it was better than What Moves the Dead!

The atmosphere of the hunting lodge and dreamscape that Alex explores throughout the book is perfect. You will feel chills and frights and you won't be able to sleep after reading this book. Gallacia was certainly frightening and I loved getting immersed in this world again. 

Now can we talk about the found family in this? Of course, you have the comeback of Agnus and Miss Potter, but you also have the addition of their new caretaker Widow Botezatu, and her son Bors. These new additions add so much to this small novel! One of the only issues that I had with the previous book was I didn't feel connected to a lot of the characters, but that is not an issue here. Bors has my whole heart and every time Widow Botezatu walked into a scene I knew I was going to get a good laugh!

All in all this new book was incredible and I hope T. Kingfisher will continue enthralling us with Easton's unfortunate tales.

 Thank you so much to T. Kingfisher and Netgalley for giving me access to this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
