Starling House by Alix E. Harrow

 

After really enjoying the hell out of The Ten Thousand Doors of January, I figured I'd read another book by Ms. Harrow--and while this book is not quite so superb as that one, it's an excellent book. Darkish kinda rural-folkish Fantasy (curses and ghosts and a house that's plausibly sapient) with a Romantic streak at least a mile wide. Yeah, there's a love story at the center of it, but that's not exactly what I mean by that Romantic streak. Also an open-ended ending that's arguably a happy one.
