A Great Second Entry to a Series

What Feasts at Night by T. Kingfisher

February 26, 2024 by RouletteGirl 5 Comments

I don’t understand how T. Kingfisher manages to build up so much dread in her Sworn Soldier novellas, but she’s done it again in What Feasts at Night. We rejoin Alex Easton a few months after the terrible ordeal in Ruravia, and Alex pretty clearly has some PTSD from almost being taken over by a sentient fungus. But their friend (and fellow fungus survivor) Miss Potter has asked to use their hunting lodge as a base for mushroom hunting in Gallacia, and so Alex and […]

Delaney Meyers-Petrov (and you know her full name because various characters repeat it over and over throughout the course of […]

Is the kid traumatized or murderous?

House of Glass by Sarah Pekkanen

February 5, 2024 by RouletteGirl Leave a Comment

I was excited when I heard about Sarah Pekkanen’s new book House of Glass, since I’d read several of her collaborative novels with Greer Hendricks and found them to be excellent thrillers. I wasn’t sure, at first, how I felt about House of Glass. It took me a few chapters to get into it, and I’m not entirely sure why. But once I did get into it, I was hooked. I read this in a single day, that’s how much I didn’t want to put […]
