The Hollow Places

The writing conveys a very creepy Lovecraftian vibe, but set in modern times. Really very unique and otherworldly.

My only criticism (a quibble, really) is that the characters were So. Very. Sarcastic. All of the time. Distracting and it made the tone a bit juvenile. Still, it's an excellent read. Recommend.

P.S. You'll find plenty of antlions in North Carolina, and really most temperate and warmer parts of the world. ... You'll understand when you read the book. Heh.

This is my favorite adult T. Kingfisher book! I love the way that Simon and Kara work together. I love the way they figure out the ‘rules' for this new world that they found. I liked the way we got a glimpse into a world(s) that are just a little different than ours. I thought the solution was good even if it took Kara awhile to get there. But even if she was slow on the uptake, it led to some really great scenes, so I'm not mad about it. There are a few of the images from the book that will stick with me for a while. I also liked the little glimpse we get into Kara getting back into a ‘normal' life. The ex-husband parts weren't my favorite, but I can see the benefit of him showing up also. I can see myself reading this book again sometime.
