T. Kingfisher did it again! Another winner with ‘What Stalks the Deep’. I stayed up all night to finish it and was not disappointed—I adore the protagonist, Alex Easton, and could read an entire book just about the tidbits they drop regarding their past. I loved that this story(unlike the previous 2) was set in the US rather than Europe—it was delightful to watch Alex grapple with America and its inhabitants. The story was perfectly paced, just scary and tense *enough*, and the setting and characters were richly drawn and absolutely my favorite bits of the book. Would absolutely recommend this to any Sworn Soldier fans—you won’t be disappointed. 4 Stars!

Thanks very much to Tor and NetGalley for the advance copy, all opinions are my own,

I loved this book with the entirety of my heart and then some. I could read Alex Easton books every day for the rest of my life and never get enough. This book was clever, and scary, and also heartwarming. Yes, all of those things fit into this novella. I love this slightly alternate world so much and Alex Easton continues to be a character that I love and has great people around that I also love. The fact these adventures are also spooky and occasionally inspired by other stories (H.P. Lovecraft in this case) is just a bonus. The way these stories are told is so clever I can't get enough of it.
