T. Kingfisher’s Illuminations
Normally a new T. Kingfisher/Ursula Vernon book makes my DAY, but this one took me a really long time to get into. It’s about a girl from a family of magical painters (I loved this concept), lots of great eccentric relatives, who finds a mysterious box in the basement and accidentally frees a monster. But then a lot of the story is “I can’t tell my family for Reasons” when there actually aren’t any reasons, which is very frustrating. I will say things do pick up eventually and I loved the last, like, third, but I did almost give up on this and I can’t say that’s ever happened to me with this author before. B.
