I accidentally read The Church Beneath the Roots before Stolen Tongues because I didn’t realize the two were related. After now having read both, I think I did enjoy Stolen Tongues a bit more.
Stolen Tongues felt more mysterious to me as we were left without many answers whereas The Church Beneath the Roots gives the readers that explanation that we would be looking for.
As with The Church Beneath the Roots, this book was atmospheric and unsettling. I don’t want to spoil any parts of the story because I think it would ruin the scare factor, but if my partner started doing any of the things that Felix’s wife Faye was doing, I think I would pack up my things and leave! Love you deeply, but maybe not that much haha!
Again, I have such a weakness for spooky books taking place in the secluded woods. Definitely an entertaining and spooky read.
