Really interesting take on Russian folklore. Engaging and quick read. I understand it’s the start of a trilogy (surprise there, since lately everything is a trilogy or a series); but I’m invested enough to want to see it through, so I’ll be reading the rest.
This was a cool book. I know very little about Russian folklore. I know in The Huntress they discuss the ruselkas but this was so much more! It’s was such a great blend of historical fiction and fantasy. At times I had to remind myself the mystical was happening because Arden did such a great job of weaving into the story line. This is mot my typical read, but I am so glad I got it, read it and that there are 2 more!!
I did not know what to expect ,but what i got was phenomenal!
The story is slow paced but builds up the plot perfectly, and the ending is gripping that you did not want to put down.

I’ve read many books that I disliked and thought, “how could anyone actually like this?”
Then there are books like this, which I disliked but absolutely understood why others would enjoy it.
I found it boring, and for a 300 page book, it dragged on more than books twice that length. For me, it was a one star read, but I don’t think it is a one star book. It just wasn’t meant for me, and that’s okay!
