Thornhedge
This is the year T. Kingfisher took over my TBR and my monthly favorites. I try to read other books in between so I won’t reach a book slump, but it’s hard as they keep staring at me… so imagine my joy when I got an e-arc of T. Kingfisher’s newest book: Thornhedge!
I was really excited for this Sleeping Beauty retelling and I still am as this book is perfection. Ok almost because this deserves to be a 500 page novel instead of a novella. Preferably a series, even, with different fairy tales filled with plot twists. I hope the publisher is taking notes here.
Anyway, let’s talk about the novella. At 176 pages, it didn’t expect it to be so wholesome as it is. I cared deeply for the characters, and the rich story builds and builds and keeps suprising you with plot twists. I loved the thoughtful “knight”, and Toad’s something else. Literally but also character wise, you can’t help but love her deeply. The story has a dark twist, and this added much depth and a bit of action to the story. I loved it all, and I wished I could stay in this world.
I really can’t say much without spoilers, and I would advise you go in knowing as little as possible and just trust that T. Kingfisher always has the most amazing stories and characters, with some humor thrown in.
I received a free e-arc but this hasn’t influenced my opinions.

Verwacht het onverwachte van Getuige nr.8, de nieuwe rechtbankthriller van Steve Cavanagh met een twist. Wat als de enige getuige nog gestoorder is dan de moordenaar?
Een roman die bijna uit zijn voegen barst van emotie met een prachtige schrijfstijl en onvergetelijke personages, een verhaal dat je telkens weer zult willen herlezen.
In de Spaanse stad vol tegenstellingen slaan twee jeugdvriendinnen de handen ineen om de moord op een stadgenote op te lossen.
