A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher
3.75
Thank you NetGalley and Macmillian Audio for the e-arc!
Not gonna lie I was a bit shocked at how much I enjoyed this book! This is a retelling of The Goose Girl following Cordelia, a young girl who is utterly controlled by her mother. Her mother is a sorceress and uses her magic Cherry cabinet on others and benefit herself. When she decides she wants to marry a wealthy squire, she manages their way into his home and life. This book is a great mix of secrets, magic, and growth.
I ended up really liking Cordelia as a character; She suffered greatly due to her mother's magic, and I think the portrayal of fear and abuse was very emotional and moving. I found myself relating to her as a character; constantly trying to find safety while living in such fear of her mother. Not only is she incredibly strong and kind but she is intelligent and brave.
Overall I did really enjoy the story however the narrator wasn't my favorite. I found myself struggling with some of the voices and the transitions. It definitely took me out of the story a bit but overall I still really enjoyed the book.
