Where the Dark Stands Still by A.B. Poranek
Howl's Moving Castle but make it a folkloric Polish fantasy in a sentient forest AND sentient house? yes please!
If you're a fan of fairytale retellings (Beauty and the Beast in this case), lush prose, tender romances, folklore and legends, the Howl's Moving Castle Ghibli movie, and atmospheric settings, I think this book will be just as up your alley as it was mine. An absolutely gorgeous debut from A.B. Poranek.
CW: (I was listening partially on audiobook, so did not keep full track, take these with a grain of salt.) violence, blood & gore, confinement, character death, grief, death of father (past), religious bigotry, minor/ancient being relationship, fire, dead bodies, child abuse (mention), domestic abuse (past)
