barelyconcealed's review against another edition

There’s a little bit of this that doesn’t quite land - it’s overlong, the strongest parts are Baba Yaga’s story by a longshot, though I honestly did love “girl animates a cemetery stone to life and they’re lesbians about it” - but it’s worth checking out.

What an incredible, wonderful book. Stories about houses, about hauntings, about stories themselves, will always draw me in and delight me. I can't express the love I have for this story. I'd rate it six stars if I could, if not more. Utter perfection, falling somewhere between the cozy epic-ness of Six of Crows and the comforting gothic of A Series of Unfortunate Events. It's a book about folk tales and magic and siblings and ghosts and memory, told from the perspective of the house in which the characters reside. I cannot recommend it enough. An instant new favorite.
