Reseñas
I have never met a fiction book with footnotes I didn’t love, and thankfully, that tradition will carry on because Starling House is magnificent.If ever there was a gothic, come fantasy mystery kind-of book you wanted to add to your list, let it be this one. Starling House is filled to the brim with deliciously descriptive atmosphere that somehow remains relatable and filled with humour. The balance of these two things, the haunting and the down-to-earth, is so well balanced, that it made for an incredibly smooth read.Talking about balance, the perspective in this book shifts between two characters. It’s masterfully done, like if it didn’t happen, the story would be nothing without it.Aside from the glorious writing, Starling House contains more Greek Mythology references than I knew what to do with. Not to mention Egyptian and some modern references, too - even ACOTAR gets a mention if you can believe it.If you’re looking for a book with an incredibly relatable cast, relationship-building that seems real, a twisting and windingly delicious plot, oh, and illustrations(!) - get this book.Thank you Tor Books and Black Crow PR for my advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.For more reviews and book recommendations, check out my YouTube channel
