The Fever of the World by Phil RickmanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The Fever of the World is the 15th book in the Merrily Watkins series by Phil Rickman. I would not start the series with this book even though you probably could. Mainly, the characters have really evolved over the course of the series and you would be missing out on how important those changes are to where we are today. But also, you would be doing yourself a disservice not to read all the books. I was drawn in by the idea of a female minister who specializes in deliverance (aka exorcisms). The other characters are equally interesting. The writing is beautiful, a bit gothic, a bit haunting, a bit folksy. They are the perfect books to read in fall and winter. It's a whole vibe. There is just one more book in the series, and I will be saving it for a special moment because I don't want to say goodbye just yet.
