The Angel of the Crows
by Katherine Addison
Fantasy
448 pages
Expected publication May 11, 2020, by Tor Books
From Goodreads: A fantasy novel of alternate 1880s London, where killers stalk the night and the ultimate power is naming.
This is not the story you think it is. These are not the characters you think they are. This is not the book you are expecting.
In an alternate 1880s London, angels inhabit every public building, and vampires and werewolves walk the streets with human beings under a well-regulated truce. A fantastic utopia, except for a few things: Angels can Fall, and that Fall is like a nuclear bomb in both the physical and metaphysical worlds. And human beings remain human, with all their kindness and greed and passions and murderous intent.
Jack the Ripper stalks the streets of this London too. But this London has an Angel. The Angel of the Crows.
I saw this in one of Steve Donoghue’s many mail hauls. Addison’s book, The Goblin Emperor, was one of my favorites of 2019. I have a soft spot for books set in London during the 1880s and 1890s, so I’m almost guaranteed to enjoy a book set then and there. Almost. I’m assuming Addison will knock this one out of the park.

Can’t wait for this book!
I DIDN’T KNOW ADDISON HAD ANOTHER BOOK COMING OUT!

Thank you for this post so I could be on top of that. #BirthdayBook
Yay! I didn’t know about it until recently, either. There’s also, apparently, a sequel of sorts to The Goblin Emperor in the works.
I will give her all my money. The Goblin Emperor was one of my favorite books of 2017. Wow. That seems so long ago.
Right? I didn’t read Golin Emperor until last fall, but I totally fell for it thanks to the audiobook.
