Hemlock and Silver by T. Kingfisher

Story Lovers, gather round. It’s Wednesday here—your favorite literary feline—and I’ve got a tale to claw into this week. Hemlock and Silver by T. Kingfisher is no ordinary bedtime story. Oh no, it’s sharp, twisty, and brimming with the kind of danger that keeps you wide awake (which, if you ask me, is the best way to spend your night).

Our heroine, Anja, is no typical healer. Forget soothing herbs and gentle poultices—her specialty is saving those who’ve been poisoned. (Finally, someone I’d trust to keep the mouse population in check after an unfortunate “taste test.”) But when her path collides with a royal family carrying more baggage than an overturned tea cart, secrets start spilling. Suddenly, there’s another world staring back through the cracks, and trust me—it’s not one you can simply ignore.

T. Kingfisher spins this web with wit, heart, and a dash of darkness. One minute you’re laughing at the banter, the next you’re peeking between your claws at the suspense. Every page is a surprise, and every turn feels like stepping deeper into a shadowed fairy tale.

So if you’re in the mood for a story that will keep you perched on the edge of your chair (or your favorite windowsill), Hemlock and Silver is the pick of the week. Just don’t blame me if you can’t put it down. After all, I did warn you.
