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.

Alex Easton as the Gallacian Carl Kolchak, takes on his second paranormal adversary in the form of a moroi, kind of a succubus without the sexual tension. The action has moved from the House of Usher to a hunting cabin owned by Easton. Not much world building occurs and the other-worldly enemy is not well fleshed out but that’s the way it is in dreams. This outing was not as well imagined as a complete world as the one described in What Moves The Dead, but the supporting characters, including Easton’s batman Angus, and his new acquaintance Miss Potter, a housekeeper and her grandson, were all described well and were quite likeable, and the reader is fervently rooting for them once the threat is defined and manifests itself. A quick enjoyable read.
