The cover of What Feasts at Night by T. Kingfisher in front of a snowy background
GENRE: FOLK HORROR STRENGTHS: CREATURE DESIGN, BODY HORROR, PACING VERSION READ: KINDLE
I really enjoyed the first Sworn Soldier book and had high expectations with What Feasts at Night. I'm happy to say that I like this entry just as much. Alex Easton is a really interesting character, and in many ways feels out of place no matter where they go. Easton is haunted by ghosts of lore and war alike, and if it weren't for ka's friends and adaptability might not have survived either. Folk horror is always really interesting to me, especially when it clashes/meshes into christian mythology. The Moroi is creepy, the body horror intense, and the choking fog ever present, making this a quick/intense read. 4/5
T. Kingfisher is another author whose works I have fallen in love with recently. #WhatFeastsAtNight is an excellent addition to the Sworn Soldier series and I cannot wait for the third book to come out. If you like cold, dark, and folksy fairytales this is the book for you. #bookreview #swornsolider
