This book had a problem with not explaining some details and I would’ve liked some more time with the Yuhuli but overall a good book.

A very well thought out and crafted story based on Eastern European folklore, history, and political struggles. (a very good and well-expected thing considering the author's background knees deep in the research of this very thing) It is a book entirely focused on examining all the threads that make up identity all through the lens of a girl repeatedly having her beliefs, stereotypes, and views stabbed through and questioned. While trying to figure out exactly where she fits in it all when she feels like she fits nowhere.

3.0

The pacing in this drove me mad and made me really struggle to finish it, which is sad because it had so much potential. I enjoyed the characters and would have enjoyed the plot if it was more consistent, but it felt like it was jumping all over the place and like the end goal of the book changed 5-6 times. I liked the conflict between religions and comparisons to real history, but found some of the lore either confusing, or boring and shallow. The writing style was nice.
