I read my first T. Kingfisher novel, Paladin’s Grace, in January, and I loved it. I quickly added all her books to my TBR, and I have read/listened to a bunch of them. I determined that I enjoy her fantasy/romantasy books more than her “horror” books. Mostly because I wouldn’t consider any of her “horror” books to be horror; they are fantasy with a bit of creepiness, and the fact that they are categorized as horror makes me expect something very different from what I get. But there are also things I love about her books. Her FMC are realistic women; they are all over 30 and have different shapes, sizes, and looks. They are not 20-somethings that are drop-dead gorgeous with perfect bodies. Also, not every male character is a love interest. The characters have relationships with men that aren’t romantic. In this book, the MMC is a gay neighbor. All her books are funny, sometimes laugh out love funny. I love some witty banter. 

 

I enjoyed The Hollow Places more than her other horror books. It was nicely paced, had an original story, was slightly creepy, and had a good ending. But it didn’t wow or scare me.
