heavyboots reviewed A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher
Cordelia knows her mother is . . . unusual. Their house doesn’t have any doors …
A sort of sociopath social climber vs salt-of-the-earth old maid fairy tale
5 stars
With a young girl caught in the middle. I have yet to meet a book by T Kingfisher I didn’t enjoy and this keeps the streak alive. Magic is mostly just a thing of myth, except when it comes to Cordelia’s mother, and when she decides she needs a husband and sets her sights on a well-to-do squire, Cordelia is caught in the middle between her mother and Hester, the old maid who runs the house with extreme pragmatism and a good heart.
