Spring 2022 (March);
~ The Sanderson Sisyphean Challenge

I did not read anything about this one, but turned it on and let the new world just steal me away with itself as it unfurled line by line. Another rustic, rough hands, and harder work story, this one crawled into my heart ruthlessly and was already well-roosted at the point to which I had noticed it was happening while I was reading.

I love this tavern of the 'neutral' midway spot tavern that Silence runs right at the edge of the creepy woods, where shades come out to kill you so often that there are three rules everyone has memorized. Things you don't do unless you want the shades to come for you. There is so much in here, but most of all, you should come for hard-as-nails 'Madam' Silence Montane: middle-aged mother, generationally passed down tavern owner, traumatized child adopter, and all-around badass.

With a big secret or two hidden in her apron pockets.
