Book Review: The Forgotten Creatures by Morgan Delaney
I absolutely love the Alumière sisters’ adventures! And I love Curly, the talking two-headed calf. I think Morgan Delaney should start stocking merch of stuffed Curlys and Curly tees. I would order them!
In this episode, the author recounts more strange doings in Hawkinge-By-Hythe. You should know that the residents are also strange, in that they are both accepting that strange things constantly happen there, and determined to bring all strangeness into submission, usually in a completely wrong way.
There’s some new tension building between the Alumière sisters (who are not witches. Really!) as they try to suppress a mysterious threat and settle their near-rioting neighbors down. They also lend an ear to star-crossed lovers and try to uncross them.
Delaney has such a witty, understated sense of humor. I loved the whimsical nature of his books, they’re a perfect distraction from reality. He brings his stories vividly to life! I’ve never been in an English village, but I felt transported there.
Thank you to Morgan Delaney and BooksSirens for my free advance reader’s copy of The Forgotten Creatures. I’m under obligation to make my review favorable, but I will because it’s a terrific read! I can’t wait for the next!
