This was such a brilliant fantasy. The world building was phenomenal & the storytelling was thoughtfully paced. It was so interesting following Kai's quest to find answers in the present, balanced by the story of the past which revealed more & more of his and the world's origins.
This book was on my radar but I was hesitant to dive into such a sprawling fantasy. I'm so glad Sarah put it on her #ALSpine list, which encouraged me to pick it up!

No surprises here. Although I am glad I did not finish Our Fathers this month. That would be a hard call, both from #auldlangspine2024. #readingbracket2024 if you are the person who created this graphic, please remind me so I can tag you. I know I stole it from someone.

Finished in time for #AuldLangSpine2024
A good slow build to a thrilling climax (the exorcism of the title). I liked how the novel delved into the psychology of the characters, the mystery aspects (trying to figure out what is happening with Regan/who killed Dennings), and how the banal and the horrific existed side by side. Certainly see some similarities with Rosemary‘s Baby (everyone was obsessed with Satanists in that era 😆) Enjoyably creepy!

Lin3han I‘m so glad you liked it!! The end had me screeching 9mo
shortsarahrose @Lin3han - totally know what you mean about the ending! 9mo

Soubhiville Nice! 9mo
monalyisha Congrats! Is this Storygraph? I used to use it and stopped and have been thinking about rekindling our affair. 9mo
Singout Well done! I‘m glad you enjoyed some of my suggestions! 9mo
Mitch @monalyisha yep - it‘s storygraph. I had Goodreads running alongside it for a while but now I‘ve ditched GR and love this instead! 9mo
Mitch @Singout All three were fabulous 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 9mo

90 pages in and this book is nothing like what I had thought it would be when I missed reading it with #europacollective last summer. I am so glad it was on the @TheKidUpstairs #auldlangspine2024 list to prompt me to return to it. It‘s gorgeous and atmospheric despite the gruesome subject. And I am hooked to find the secrets to be revealed.

BarbaraBB My favorite book of 2024 9mo
jlhammar Really glad you're reading it. Such a good book! 9mo
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 9mo
TheKidUpstairs I almost skipped this one because the blurb made me expect a different kind of book. But reviews like @BarbaraBB 's made me give it a chance, and it will stick with me for a long time. I'm glad you're finding the same experience! 9mo
BarbaraBB @TheKidUpstairs 🙏❤️ 9mo
