I have loved every T. Kingfisher book and this was no exception. Summer is a girl with an overbearing to the point of smothering mother, who finds the Baba Yaga in her back yard and gets sent to Orcus to find her heart's desire--though she doesn't know what it is. Summer in Orcus has been nominated for the WSFS Best YA Book Award!. This nomination recognizes the combined talents of both T. Kingfisher and Lauren Henderson that went into creating the illustrated edition of this story. We are excited by the opportunity this provides for a whole new audience to enjoy this outstanding book, which is ideal for young adults while being equally enjoyable. When the witch Baba Yaga walks her house into the backyard, eleven-year-old Summer enters into a bargain for her heart's desire. Her search will take her to the strange, surreal world of Orcus, where birds talk, women change their shape, and frogs sometimes grow on trees. But underneath the whimsy of Orcus lies a persistent darkness, and the distant, mysterious Queen-in-Chains.

Summer in Orcus is a portal fantasy book that reads a lot younger than T. Kingfisher's other books. During the first half I was wondering why she didn't publish this as Ursula Vernon, T. Kingfisher being the name she uses for adult fiction. In September, Ursula Vernon started posting Summer in Orcus as a web serial, funded by her Patreon supporters. The entire story is now complete and available on-line for free, which is how I read it, but it's also available as an ebook from the expected places if you prefer to read it that way. The ebook publication lists T. Kingfisher as the author, Vernon's pen name for her books for adults.
