I think I didn’t pay enough attention to the audio or it didn’t grip me the way the physical book did because I very much enjoyed this on the second go-around. The plot line was direct and to the point but the world building left a lot open to be explored in the next book. I’m very excited to see the aftermath to Dimytr’s decision at the end!

baeum012's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 20%

As someone not familiar with Chicago or Polish lore this was a bit hard to follow and get into.
fast-paced

Didn't have many expectations about this book honestly. It was not how I pictured it from what I heard of it and I appreciated the setting and the emphasis on Slavic folklore which I've read about before and find quite fascinating.
I'm not usually a fan of urban fantasy but I must say that here the author was able to create a fitting atmosphere and an interesting setting, though I would have loved to see more.
The characters were interesting but I feel like we didn't see enough of them, I know it's a novella and overall we did get a decent characterization for the length but I wish we saw more about them getting to know each other as they spent so little time together that it's strange they formed this kind of bond.
Overall it was a nice read and might read the next one if I can get it on a subscription or library.

Even better on the reread
adventurous dark

What a great world the author has built! Loved the elements of Polish/Slavic folklore set in modern day Chicago (and I don’t usually like the modern/fantasy combo) and I loved our trios of main characters. Can’t wait to start the next one, this is a quick read and I wanted more exploration in the magic and creatures!
