Rhonda Monarque
Thanks to NetGalley, author Joe Hill, and publisher William Morrow for providing me with a complimentary ARC. This is my honest opinion.
I usually listen to audiobooks, so reading this one took a bit longer since I don’t have much dedicated reading time—but I’m glad I made the effort. King Sorrow is classic Joe Hill: creepy, clever, and surprisingly heartfelt. The story dives deep into themes of grief and guilt, with a mysterious, unsettling figure at its core.
It’s more emotionally charged than some of Hill’s previous work, and that gives it a unique edge. While a few parts felt a little slow and the ending seemed somewhat rushed, the story as a whole is powerful and lingers long after the final page. Fans of Hill’s work won’t be disappointed.
