Thank you to T. Kingfisher (author), Avi Roque (narrator), Macmillan Audio, and.Netgalley for this free advance listener copy of "What Feasts at Night" (Sworn Soldier #2) for an honest review.

Last year when "What Moves the Dead" came out, I finally crossed the line between vaguely knowing the name T. Kingfisher (and Ursula Vernon) into the land of someone who LOVED her deeply. I picked up the first Sworn Soldier #1 because it was this perfect cross of a classic retelling of "Fall of the House of Usher" merged with even more modern horror and a flash of genderqueer upgrading. Which, of course, meant I was OVER THE MOON the day it was announced there'd be a sequel, and then even more so when it popped up on here.

This book was just as delightful as the first one, continuing Easton's journey back home to Galicia and processing the combined layers of coming to terms with both (a) what he'd missed while he was away in the war and (b) the post-traumatic stress and trauma left over from said war still taking its effects upon him, and his compatriot, from time to time. What follows is a lovely romp through the tugging tails of science and superstition, desperation and faith.

I truly do hope this series get even more sequels.
