Why read it?
3 authors picked A Sorceress Comes to Call as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A thoroughly original (and unpredictable) Goose Girl retelling and a chilling examination of abuse and trauma.
Loved the characters who were all very different and the dark humour within the events occurring. The plot and story style was interesting with an unreliable narrator combined with some magical realism. The pace was constant but could feel slow at times but escalated towards the end with mysteries uncovered, character secrets revealed and a plan developed to conquer the sorceress in their midst.
it features an older female protagonist, a unique take on fairytale retellings, a masterfully portrayed creeping sense of dread, and wry humour to save it from being too dark. Fantastic read!
