First, I’m pretty sure they are the only ones making it out of this mess of a world. It is at this point that the words fairy slippers are mentioned. Not everyone is thrilled with the idea but go with it all the same. The house is drenched in a dizzying array of colorful flowers and draperies. As a morose, grieving and decrepit air threatens to swallow Highmoor whole, the girls’ newly pregnant stepmother declares the normally years tradition of mourning over. When one of the youngest sisters, Verity starts drawing ghosts of her dead sisters doing dark, ghoulish things, the main character Annaleigh becomes increasingly concerned that something more than accidents are causing the Thaumas sisters to disappear from Highmoor. Then there came a plague, murder hornets whoops, I mean a fall off the cliffs to the sea, tripping off the ladder and drowning in the bathtub (a little suspect for a seafaring family). I have the Council of the Ninja Magical Cats and I want to off myself most days. To be honest, after eleven children, I don’t blame her for checking out on the twelfth. Let’s not forget that their mother is also dead, and her death is the least mysterious of them all. By the time I was into the story, I needed a pitcher and some xanax.Īt the start of House of Salt and Sorrows and I mean right at the start of the story only seven of the twelve Thaumas are still alive. We’ll get back to the fairy slippers in a bit. We are going to move on for a little while but don’t worry.

So, when I see the words “fairy slippers,” I figure that it is kind of guilt by association. I mean I know that I can’t edit my own writing for shit. But then Becky happened and now… There it is!ĭo I type in Spanish? I’m just wondering. I mean the Three Dark Crowns series (One Dark Throne’s review is coming this weekend) wasn’t there, initially. It is, however one of the backlist books in my Spring/Summer Fling 2020, so YAY! Success! Scratch it off the list! Not that I don’t keep adding to it, or anything.
I have never heard of any such thing ever. If one person said this, it could possibly be a joke on me but since the publisher, author and a league of readers say it? I’m assuming it isn’t some huge conspiracy.
