This book was a recommendation from another author I was following. It was pitched as a rendition of a Russian fairy tale, and as a lover of all things of fairies and tales, I was pretty excited to read it.

It took me an absurdly long time to read, mostly because there was a lot to it. This book switched perspective constantly, and several times I got confused as to who was related to whom or what role they played in the story. This book was pretty dense, and there wasn’t much breather in the story line. I think the book really could have benefited in adding such.

Overall, I did enjoy the book. The worldbuilding was especially fun.
