Tell me about Between two fires

-🎄

HI SPRUCE

ok well Between Two Fires is a horror novel set in medieval France, specifically during the height of the plague. I've never read a historical fiction book that really dove into the plague and I really loved how the author didn't shy away from the brutal descriptions of how horrific it was. the setting is borderline apocalyptic with the characters constantly finding abandoned structures, dead bodies all over the place since no one is burying them anymore, and struggling to find food, since there's not enough people left alive to tend crops. so I found that aspect of it really really interesting

but the novel itself really shines with the characters and the horror elements. the story is about a former disgraced knight who ends up (reluctantly) becoming the protector of a 11-12ish year old orphan who is either a witch, a saint, or an angel in human form he's not exactly sure which. she sees angels and tells him he needs to take her across France for reasons she can't explain. these two have the classic 'grumpy older guy becomes the protector of a young girl who annoys the shit out of him and they get a found family arc out of it' trope going on and it's wonderful. the other main character that joins them on their journey is a priest who is dealing with a lot of his own inner struggles and is trying to tell himself he's still serving God even as he continuously falls weak to his vices and he's a wonderful character as well.

also, this is a horror novel and oh boy the horror element didn't disappoint. I haven't really read much horror before but I've heard people say the horror elements in this book are presented less like modern horror and closer to gothic horror, with really horrifying things just happening and everyone having to deal with it and move on with their journey. I really loved how the horror elements are described, the writing style is really interesting and distinct and the descriptions are beautiful. at first I went into this thinking the horror element would be more of a grounded, 'people are the real monsters' kind of thing and then very quickly I realized no we are dealing with some really fucked up monsters in this ok let's go.

so yeah uh. if you want a historical fiction medieval horror story with really well written flawed characters and a very sweet found family story that'll make you tear up at the end go read this book it's so good I loved it so much
