I have been so excited to start this one. I loved the first one. I was not disappointed at all in this one. I loved the monster story. It was so good. All poor Alex wants is some rest but instead they are faced with a mess to clean up and some very strange things happening. I am such a fan of the folklore of the breath stealing monster. With this monster, you are not safe awake or in sleep. I will read anything T. Kingfisher writes. Thank you to NetGalley and Tor Publishing Group for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you Netgalley, author, and the publishers for allowing me the opportunity to read this book early.

I am a huge fan of T.Kingfisher and request her books the second I see them on Netgalley. This woman can write and writes well, and generally her novellas are everything I want in a story. They're short, but the story isn't lacking (generally). This one though suffers from a lot of fillers that I found annoying. The constant use of (), repeating of information, and there was not enough horror. Though when we are given the scary bits, they are terrifying. Sadly, though, the ending was very anticlimactic and not really scary at all. It wasn't tense, and fell flat.

I loved this exploration into folklore. I think that I had heard of moroi before, but really didn't know much about them and wouldn't have minded if there were some real life accounts thrown into the story to act as proof of what was happening.

Alex, Angus and Miss Potter are amazing characters and I hope T.Kingfisher writes more featuring them.

Thank you NetGalley and Tor Nightfire for an ebook of "What Feasts at Night" by T. Kingfisher in exchange for an honest review. I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys a slow burn or gothic horror. It is the perfect concoction of storytelling, mystery solving, and conversations. Kingfisher has a writing style I haven't seen before. I am personally a fan of medium to fast paced books, so it took me a bit longer to get through than usual. It is a great idea, and I love the way the plot includes twists, creatures, and the supernatural.

Great horror novel!! This held me in suspense my entire read and I enjoyed the major themes it focuses on.

"**What Feasts the Night**" by T. Kingfisher is a spellbinding and imaginative novel that masterfully blends dark fantasy with richly layered storytelling. Kingfisher's vivid prose and unique world-building create an immersive experience that pulls readers into a mesmerizing and eerie world. The compelling characters and intricate plot twists keep the narrative engaging and unpredictable. This book is a brilliant and captivating read that stands out in the genre.

Well, who knew you could draw me in and keep there with such a short book. This small book packs big. There was mystery and horror and the unknown and it kept coming. Great sequel to book 1!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for providing an advance copy in exchange for honest feedback.

Thank you to NetGalley and TOR Publishing for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review!

Brilliant book! I enjoy everything Kingfisher writes and i will buy hardcopies of everything. The gothic atmosphere is spot on. Another wonderful work!

Sadly, i could not get into this book and I’ve always enjoyed TK Fisher. No worries, didn’t books satisfy different people!

Every time T. Kingfisher comes out with a new release I immediately request it and am never disappointed, and What Feasts at Night continued that trend. I loved the first book in this duology and enjoyed the second installment just as much. Thank you Netgalley and Tor Nightfire for my early review copy!

Eerie, dark, deeply disturbing, but also like the cover, artistic and lushly beautiful as it is disturbing in all the best ways. I have a strong impulse to go back, find the first volume, then read this one again!

The second book in T. Kingfisher's Sworn Soldier series (which I devoutly hope she continues with! Everyone in these books is delightful – even [especially?] the horse!)

Anyways.

I loved this sequel. This one is not based on anything specific (like What Moves the Dead was based on The Fall of the House of Usher) as far as I can tell, it’s more generic Eastern European mythology. Which absolutely works! I like the moving away from a specific source material and more into the exploration of this particular world.

This will absolutely keep your interest and keep you turning pages to find out what happens.

Nicely atmospheric and more creepy than scary, I would not hesitate to hand this to a teen (perhaps even a tween reader, depending on said tween) reader.

I received a digital copy from NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinions.

3.5 rounded down.

I actually enjoyed this one a little more than the first, which seems to be an uncommon opinion, and I'm not sure why. The first one definitely had more tension but this one felt like a side quest in a way I really liked.

This story is a spooky and interesting tale of ghosts that need to be put to rest. The lore was captivating and the character dynamics were my favorite. Angus and Alex's friendship is fun to observe, and if there are anymore stories after this nothing bad (permanently bad) is allowed to happen to either of them.

Thank you to NetGalley & Tor Nightfire for this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I'm not sure why, but this didn't sink it's claws into my chest the way everything else I've read from this author has. I was probably not in the right headspace, because I can't imagine a single misstep from this author. I'm planning on re-reading to see if my feelings change. It was, as always, a delight to read, I just didn't feel the same atmosphere as the first in the series.

I really enjoyed this! As the second in the series, it did not suffer from any kind of sophomore slump!

I enjoy the way these books play out. I really hope this series continues - I’m attached. It’s such a solid mix of the supernatural and reality, with plenty of explanations into the culture of the people in the story. It’s so interesting to see how each story unfolds - and this one deals with things in the night which I find absolutely delightful.

If you liked the first one, you should definitely read this one too!

T Kingfisher remains my favorite author. I usually never read horror, however I will read hers. She manages to make me.laugh even when ik creeped out. I was so glad.we.got to visit Alex's world again and I hope we can again soon. Loved it.

What Feasts at Night is the follow up gothic novella to What Moves the Dead, a haunting retelling of Edgar Allen Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher. Many of the same quirky characters appear in this installment, including Lieutenant Alex Easton, their valet Angus, Hob the horse, and British mycologist Eugenia Potter.

Ready to take a long rest from the war, Alex arrives for a stay at their familial hunting lodge. Upon arrival, they learn that the lodge’s caretaker, Codrin is missing. The superstitious Gallatians believe that he was murdered by a mythical creature. When Alex begins dreaming of the strange being as well, they must figure out the mystery before they are taken as well.

This creepy story is once again told with a sense of humor that lightens the tone of a dark horror novella. I found the characters endearing, but this time was underwhelmed by the simple plot. There wasn’t a whole lot to sink my teeth into this time and left me yearning for more twists and turns.

While What Moves the Dead was a five star read, this one fell a bit short. I am a huge fan of Kingfisher and will look forward to reading more from her.

3/5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC of What Feasts at Night in exchange for an honest review.

A sequel to the highly acclaimed "What Moves the Dead," "What Feasts the Night" continues the story of Alex Eason, the Sworn Soldier. Alex is a great character and I was looking forward to seeing how their story played out. This book started out slow for me and I had a hard time remembering the first book as I read it when it first came out. I think both of those contributed to me struggling with this book. It was underwhelming for the most part and I felt like the horror was weak at times.

Atmospheric and creepy. Kingfisher knows how to write gothic horror. Loved every minute of their storytelling. I loved Alex Easton so getting to continue on with them for a new mystery, SO FUN!

3.5/5 stars
Received eARC for free from NetGalley.

As much as I loved What Moves the Dead, this was just mediocre. I really love Alex, but I don’t think this book needed to exist. I don’t think it added enough to the world where if there is a 3rd book i would read it. That said, it was very T Kingfisher. It was a dark fairytale which I really like. I read it in a single sitting. It was creepy and I enjoy Alex’s inner voice.
