T. Kingfisher’s Alex Easton wanders into H.P. Lovecraft territory in a West Virginia coal mine in this third outing of her Sworn Soldier series. Easton rejoins friend Dr Denton from What Moves The Dead in the search for Denton’s missing cousin, deep in an abandoned mine in WV. There they run into something somewhat reminiscent of Journey To The Center Of The Earth crossed with The Blob. This story is the weakest of the trilogy so far. The incipient danger is hinted at very much in passing and comes and goes in the space of a page or two. Overall, this was a tasty looking but ultimately unfulfilling nothing sandwich action-wise, but the characters continue to be entertaining and very likeable so I will follow Kingfisher into Easton’s fourth adventure which, if What Stalks The Deep is to be believed, will also take place in the states.
