About this listen
A lush and twisted dark fairy tale suffused with witchcraft, dark secrets and bitter revenge from the award-winning author of All the Murmuring Bones. Exquisite, haunting and at times brutal, listeners of Naomi Novik and Erin Morgenstern will be entranced.
Asher Todd comes to live with the mysterious Morwood family as a governess to their children. Asher knows little about being a governess but she is skilled in botany and herbcraft, and perhaps more than that. And she has secrets of her own, dark and terrible—and Morwood is a house that eats secrets. With a monstrous revenge in mind, Asher plans to make it choke. However, she becomes fond of her charges, of the people of the Tarn, and she begins to wonder if she will be able to execute her plan—and who will suffer most if she does. But as the ghosts of her past become harder to control, Asher realises she has no choice.
From the award-winning author of All the Murmuring Bones, dark magic, retribution and twisted family secrets combine to weave a bewitching and addictive tale.

Sadly not as good as All the Murmuring Bones
I loved the first book, so original with such a strong female lead. This started well but half way through it became very repetitive, everything that happened was predictable and it just got quite boring? A shame because the first book (not a series though) is brilliant!

Captivating Story
A beautifully written story and an equally perfect narrator. Enjoyable all the way through. A mix of fantasy and the common family struggles of reality. Not too heavy on the fantasy so it's easy to follow through without having to learn too much of another world. I'm curious to read the other books by the author.

Intriguing plot
interesting plot, narrator had a nice speed, but would have been nice to have a few more variations on the male voices. But overall, I really enjoyed it from beginning to end.

Path of thorns
I picked this one up on sale because I had listened to All the Murmuring Bones and really liked that one. Path of Thorns is a good story, maybe a little bit drawn out. A little bit of magic, witchcraft, unlikely romance, and plotting. It was entertaining. Narrator did a good job of distinguishing characters from one another.

What a good story
Second book by this author I have listened to on audible. Very clever interweaving of old tales and new stories. I really enjoyed it and I really like the narrator. So refreshing to have stories wrapped in in one book rather than being dragged across three when they don’t need to be.
