I've only recently dived into Kingfisher's books with Nettle & Bone and I do have to say that Bonedog? Incredible, show-stopping, marvelous little creature! It genuinely tied the worldbuilding just that bit tighter for me, because it was a more consistently tangible reminder that this was a setting of fantasy and on the rather dark side of the whimsical! I'll be taking this as a cue to look at Kingfisher's other books as well!
Great post! The fact that I remember Bongo by name - I’ve read the book maybe 6 years ago and I don’t remember human characters name after a week - shows how great canine character he was.

Haha! That is exactly my point! I love Bongo, but I can't wait for everyone to meet Copper in Kingfisher's new book; she has some attitude!
