I read and enjoyed "What Moves the Dead" last year, and I was excited to continue with the story.
"What Feasts at Night" follows Alex Easton, a retired solider just looking for some serious down time. After their wild time at the Usher manor, Alex is happy to return to the family hunting house. Unfortunately, there is something amiss, and Alex will have to investigate to uncover the truth about what is happening.
This was a very short, quick, and gothic story. It is very easy to get into, and I felt like this could be read independently from "What Moves the Dead."
Alex is a strong protagonist, which makes reading from their perspective all the better. Alex is smart, cunning, but has the greatest heart. Alex does not stand for those she loves to suffer, and they stop at nothing to help bring justice.
This story felt very haunting, and I really enjoyed uncovering the mystery of what was happening to the people. I do wish we got more of the story, so that we could appreciate this situation more.
I will definitely continue to pick up and read T. Kingfisher in the future.
