I've given this one a bit of a lower rating compared to the others- I still thoroughly enjoyed this, but it felt a little disjointed and repetitive. And almost like filler? But not quite (and I also don't necessarily see that as a negative)....more
A little too much time in the MC's head for my liking, and the ending didn't really resolve all that much, making the ending lack satisfaction fo3.5/5
A little too much time in the MC's head for my liking, and the ending didn't really resolve all that much, making the ending lack satisfaction for me. This definitely had its flaws, but overall I still really enjoyed it and am planning to read the next book....more
I really enjoyed the characterisations within this, as well as the invention of Gallacia and its language. The wFungi fiction is my favourite fiction!
I really enjoyed the characterisations within this, as well as the invention of Gallacia and its language. The way pronouns were woven into the story, giving extra meaning to scenes was masterfully done in my opinion.
I love that the author gave a nod in the Author's Note to having read Mexican Gothic and then feeling doubtful about her own work. I'm so glad she still published her take too because the world needs more fungi fiction!! (And although before reading you know fungi take a part in the plot, I felt the direction the story went in was still different and interesting).
T. Kingfisher has been firmly cemented as one of my favourite authors.

I loved how this started out and really thought it might become one of my new favourite books. I loved the overly long descriptions (I understand why I loved how this started out and really thought it might become one of my new favourite books. I loved the overly long descriptions (I understand why others didn't), it all felt so atmospheric.
Unfortunately as the book went on I lost a bit of my enamour. I think it could've definitely used some editing, as the plot just seemed to be going nowhere. I don't mind a slow plot, and I loved all the homey scenes, but there was just so much talking and not enough doing. I also felt that Diana lost a bit of her charm as the plot advanced; I loved her independent nature at the start of the book, but by the end she kind of just seemed like a child.
Overall I still enjoyed this and I'm glad I read it. I'm not sure when I'll get to the sequels though. 3.5/5...more
