This was a nice story. I loved how the author simplistically and poetically wove the narrative and enjoyed the backdrop of feudal Russia. There was too much unexplained "magic" for my taste, but a worthwhile read nonetheless.

Brilliant book of the life of a witch in her chicken legged home and her apprentice, a boy locked away in a room all his life, never knowing anything different.
The mythology is gripping and the story weaves itself effortlessly with rich characters and the right amount of suspense and magic!
I see it's part of a series? Oh I need to find the next book then!!

I know this book is acclaimed and award-winning but I just couldn't get into it. I finished it, but this fantasy definitely wasn't for me. That being said, I adore Susan Price's Sterkarm Handshake series!
