- THORNHEDGE is a novella that asks "what if the damsel in distress was actually the villain?"
- I'm always impressed by Kingfisher's ability to craft a full world in so few pages. The world of this book feels lush, but it's only exactly as complicated as it needs to be.
- As I'm finding to be a hallmark of Kingfisher's work, THORNHEDGE is somehow cozy and gruesome at the same time. I don't know how, but it is.
