Really fun take on Russian/ Ukrainian/ Jewish folklore and sisterly love. Very fast and engaging read. Though the ending felt a bit rushed to me, it was still a fun time that I’d recommend.

I've had this on my TBR for years and finally got to it. It was an excellent book. Not quite 4 stars, but damn close. I enjoyed the way the story was woven, as well as the way the writing varied. Just an excellent read and I already put a hold on the author's second book through my library.
