First book purchase of the year! It WAS on my list of books I wanted, thanks for asking! I love that these are small enough that rereading What Moves the Dead isn't a huge commitment :)

This is what I imagine when I think of Alex Easton from What Moves The Dead and What Feats AT Night

Just the short hair and the uniform is what brings this character to mind.

#and maybe because anne hathaway is tragically hot and i have a minor crush on Alex Easton #book crush #what feasts at night #what moves the dead #alex easton #t kingfisher

What Feasts at Night by T. Kingfisher

SPOILERS FOR "WHAT MOVES THE DEAD"!

The follow-up to T. Kingfisher’s bestselling gothic novella, What Moves the Dead.

Retired soldier, Alex Easton, returns in a horrifying new adventure.

After their terrifying ordeal at the Usher manor, Alex Easton feels as if they just survived another war. All they crave is rest, routine, and sunshine, but instead, as a favor to Angus and Miss Potter, they find themself heading to their family hunting lodge, deep in the cold, damp forests of their home country, Gallacia.

In theory, one can find relaxation in even the coldest and dampest of Gallacian autumns, but when Easton arrives, they find the caretaker dead, the lodge in disarray, and the grounds troubled by a strange, uncanny silence. The villagers whisper that a breath-stealing monster from folklore has taken up residence in Easton’s home. Easton knows better than to put too much stock in local superstitions, but they can tell that something is not quite right in their home. . . or in their dreams.

Read WHAT FEASTS AT NIGHT by T. Kingfisher if you love remote villages, disreputable cabins in the woods, mysterious illnesses, nightmares, fungi, strongly spiced sausage, trauma narratives, endless cups of tea, propriety, knives & very good horses.

I received an advance copy of this book for review.

I loved this! I think as far as sequels go, this was just perfect. Alex heads into kan homeland, Galacia, accompanied by Angus and kan horse, Hob (btw, the horse is fine). Staying in kan hunting lodge, Alex discovers that the caretaker has passed away and in such a way that has started rumors of a Moroi. Readying the house for Miss Potter (one of my all-time favorite experts in mushrooms), Alex hires a local duo to help out around the place.

Of course, the Moroi that even Alex knows ka should have initially believed in at this point turns out to be a bit more real than just a rumor. This Moroi and what it does really remind me of sleep paralysis which is something I struggled with for a little over a year, and trust me, it's a terrifying experience.

I really liked this. I think one of my favorite aspects of this book was learning so much more about Alex and particularly T. Kingfisher's created country, Galacia. It's horrifying but also cozy and funny. I just hope I get to see more about Alex. I am in such awe of this author and their creativity and humor. The balance between feeling scared and cozy vibes is just brilliant.

Out February 13, 2024!

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!

"If she is not living, then she must be dead. Those are widely considered to be worse, because you can block up the entrance that a live moroi enters through, but if she is a ghost, she comes by way of your dreams, and how can you block the entrance to a dream?"

“A poet once wrote that the woods of Gallacia are as deep and dark as God’s sorrow, and while I am usually skeptical of poets, I feel this one may have been onto something. Certainly the stretch of my homeland that I found myself riding through was as deep and dark as something out of a fairy tale.”― T. Kingfisher, What Feasts at Night

✂️ What Feasts at Night by T. Kingfisher

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

After the horrifying events at the Usher manor, Easton and company return back to his home in Gallicia, but find the caretaker dead, the grounds in disarray, and a rumor that a creature from folklore has taken up residence in Easton’s home.

First off, I want to say how happy I am to be reunited with Alex, Angus, and Miss Potter! The first book, What Moves the Dead, had me in a death grip while I was reading it and I was certain T. Kingfisher wouldn’t be able to replicate that in a sequel. I was so so wrong.

T. Kingfisher is a master storyteller and weaves a web of creeping horror, folklorish delight, and a mystery that had me gripped. I love that there’s a sense of humor in the story that doesn’t overpower the eerie feelings of hopelessness. She does a wonderful mixing real things- like PTSD, or “soldier’s heart”- with the fantastical or unsettling. She shows respect to the subject of soldier’s heart while also using it as a narrative theme throughout the book. I loved this sequel almost more than the first book.

T. Kingfisher, please keep writing books!

On one hand I'd love to see more books staring Alex Easton in the future, on the other hand ka keeps ending each book with a couple new friends and a shiny new facet added to kans PTSD, and it would be a shame to keep subjecting kan to that.

#ka has very bad luck when it comes to finding Horrors in crumbling country estates #not 100% sure kan or kans is the possessive form of Alex's pronouns? #t kingfisher #what moves the dead #what feasts at night #microwave-radiation

"If you have ever dealt with the possessions of the dead, you probably know what I mean. You take things away and leave behind emptiness, and everything you remove—every sheet and pillowcase, every lost sock and old razor—erases a little bit of the dead person’s footprint in the world. You picture your own home being carted away, piece by piece, hopefully by loved ones and not by strangers.

I tried to express this to Angus, who snorted and said, “Don’t worry, it’ll take ten men to clear your apartment in Paris, and the next tenants will be finding bottles of livrit stashed in odd corners for years.” Strangely enough, that made me feel better about the whole thing."

Mod opinion: I haven't read this book yet, but I quite liked the first and I'm excited to return to this dark gothic story. Update: I returned to this gothic horror and actually liked this sequel a lot more than the prequel. I want to return to this world! Also I forgot that Alex pronouns are ka/kan (read the first book a few years ago & only remembered that Alex is nonbinary and became a sworn soldier as a gender affirmation) and it is really kinda sucky that a rare instance of neo pronouns (even if they are explained as a societal third gender in the book, so not neo pronouns for the story, but neo pronouns for us) gets ignored and replaced by they/them in the summary :/ cowardly & kinda boring tbh.
