Reviews"Deeply satisfying and darkly funny feminist fairytale.... At its heart a story of good people doing their best to make the unjust world a fairer place, this marvelous romp will delight Kingfisher''s fans and fairytale lovers alike."-- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Blending fairy-tale familiarity and common-sense characters, Kingfisher''s prose balances grim circumstances with humor and heart. Readers of Alix E. Harrow''s A Spindle Splintered and Melissa Albert''s ''The Hazel Wood'' series should pick this up immediately." -- Library Journal , starred review "Kingfisher is an inventive fantasy powerhouse, and Nettle & Bone represents the burgeoning "hopepunk" ethos at its finest, with its winsome characters and focus on their fight to make the world a better place."-- Bookpage , starred review "Clever and bold-hearted . . . this rollicking feminist fairy tale is filled with redemption, community and courage, its dark passages the road to a satisfyingly uplifting endgame."-- Shelf Awareness, starred review " Nettle & Bone leans into the macabre and evokes the Grimm-est of stories... Highly recommended for fans of fractured fables like Naomi Novik''s Uprooted (2015) and Helen Oyeyemi''s Gingerbread (2019)." -- Booklist, starred review "Nettle & Bone is full of delights and surprises--and proves that [Kingfisher] has more than a few tricks left up her sleeve."-- Locus "With NETTLE & BONE, T. Kingfisher solidifies her place as natural and inevitable heir to the greats of her genre, while remaining clearly and unquestionably a unique voice in fantasy. This book is a modern classic and belongs alongside The Last Unicorn and Spinning Silver on your shelf."--Seanan McGuire "This book is so exciting, deeply wise, sad, brutal and compassionate all at once. And beautifully written, with a plot as cunning as fine embroidery. . . . When I finished I could hardly bear to tear myself away from this eerie, vivid world, with its struggling, flawed, wonderful characters."--Catriona Ward, author of Last House on Needless Street "Nettle & Bone brings Kingfisher''s signature honesty and authenticity to a fairy tale setting--the result is refreshing, earnest but not naive, and deeply satisfying. I devoured it. This is one that''s going to stay with me for a long time."--Sarah Gailey, author of Magic for Liars "Kingfisher''s combination of comedy with feminist rage in a complex fairytale setting makes for a wholly entertaining read." -- Buzzfeed "Witty, sparkling tale of a heroine''s quest, full of matter-of-fact magic, impossible tasks, and a group of fantastic and charming companions. A delight throughout."--Louisa Morgan, author of A Secret History of Witches " Nettle & Bone is pure delight. T. Kingfisher uses the bones of fairy tale to create something entirely her own, written in gloriously clear and transparent prose. I devoured this story of a princess-nun rescuing her sister from an abusive marriage, and every fresh turn delighted me."--Emily Tesh, Hugo finalist, Silver in the Wood " Nettle & Bone is what happens when all the overlooked bit players of classic fantasy somehow wind up on the main quest. It''s funny, frightening, and full of heart; I loved it."--Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January "Charming and macabre--often both at the same time-- Nettle & Bone has bite, proper jokes, effortlessly good storytelling and a really wonderful tomb labyrinth."--A. K. Larkwood, author of The Unspoken Name "Somehow, Kingfisher writes stories that put you at your ease and make you want to crawl out of your skin at the same time. I loved the way this horrified me--and, in the end, gave me hope."--Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of the Iron Druid Chronicles, "Deeply satisfying and darkly funny feminist fairytale.... At its heart a story of good people doing their best to make the unjust world a fairer place, this marvelous romp will delight Kingfisher's fans and fairytale lovers alike."-- Publishers Weekly , starred review "Blending fairy-tale familiarity and common-sense characters, Kingfisher's prose balances grim circumstances with humor and heart.

SynopsisWinner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel An Instant USA Today & Indie Bestseller An Oprah Daily Top 25 Fantasy Book of 2022 A Vulture Best Fantasy Novel of 2022 An NPR Best Sci Fi, Fantasy, & Speculative Fiction Book of 2022 A Goodreads Best Fantasy Choice Award Nominee From Hugo, Nebula, and Locus award-winning author T. Kingfisher comes an original and subversive fantasy adventure. *The very special hardcover edition features a gold foil stamp on the casing and custom endpapers illustrated by the author.* This isn't the kind of fairy tale where the princess marries a prince. It's the one where she kills him. Marra -- a shy, convent-raised, third-born daughter -- is relieved not to be married off for the sake of her parents' throne. Her older sister wasn't so fortunate though, and her royal husband is as abusive as he is powerful. From the safety of the convent, Marra wonders who will come to her sister's rescue and put a stop to this. But after years of watching their families and kingdoms pretend all is well, Marra realizes if any hero is coming, it will have to be Marra herself. If Marra can complete three impossible tasks, a witch will grant her the tools she needs. But, as is the way in stories of princes and the impossible, these tasks are only the beginning of Marra's strange and enchanting journey to save her sister and topple a throne. "Wholly entertaining."-- Buzzfeed "A modern classic."--Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of Every Heart A Doorway "Pure delight. T. Kingfisher uses the bones of fairy tale to create something entirely her own."--Emily Tesh, award-winning author of Silver in the Wood Also by T.
