Do you suppose when T.Kingfisher finishes writing a book they throw their head back and cackle with glee from their cleverness?!  If I were them, I would! 

This is an entertaining retelling of ‘The Goose Girl’  which sharing the thoughts of young Cordelia and matronly Hester as they navigate the treachery that is Doom, aka Cordelia’s mother.   Another Gothic tale that will keep you reading long after your bedtime.   It has all the elements that make up good story telling.  Characters that you can love and some you hate.  An excellent plot and a wonderful way of storytelling that moves you right along the path.  Mix in some humor and a possessed horse and it adds up to a favorite read for the year! 

Thank you to NetGalley, Tor Publishing and T Kingfisher for the digital copy in exchange for my review.
