The Wolf and His King by Finn Longman is the fantasy retelling that flew completely under the radar, and it deserves so much more attention than it's getting. This week I talk about this underrated fairy tale retelling, a fun cozy mystery, a Robert McCammon classic that was a solid read, and an ARC that missed the mark.
