Keturah and Lord Death was a book that I've wanted to read for a long time. I haven't read much books by Canadian authors despite being Canadian myself. So I aimed to correct that starting with this book, now my thoughts:

I really enjoyed it. It reads and breathes like a fairytale. It did have some fairytale tropes which I did not mind, which did lead to some predictability. But I still liked it. The writing is very well done, it served its purpose to tell the story as it was. The characters were all treated with care, no one was thrown to the side too much. And also the plot was really good as well. I do see people having troubles particularly with certain "relationships" that are teased. It also annoyed me from time to time, but I forgave it since I was wrapped up in the story.

Is it the best book? No, but the story is really good and I think it's a good fairytale to read to kids if you don't want to stick with the usual lineup. I say give it a try. It may not have been my favourite but I still enjoyed reading it and I think it deserves some attention.
3.5/5⭐️
