#43: T. Kingfisher, Nettle & Bone

[kareila]

"It's a fool's errand and we'll probably all die."

"Oh, well then. I always enjoy those."

This was a somewhat creepy but ultimately delightful fairy tale about a youngest sister's quest for justice. It's not a specific retelling, but there are princesses and godmothers and curses and impossible tasks, plus a large helping of the more whimsically quirky elements I've come to expect in this particular author's work. (A notable companion of the quest is a demon chicken. Yes, literally.)

Content warnings: domestic violence, mild body horror involving teeth. The dog was dead to begin with.
