Enjoyed was the sentient Driada. The ending doesn’t make any sense, this guy made a bargain knowing the cost and yet expected to not have to pay it? And she just helped him get out of the bargain for what, love? Twin souls? I just don’t think I was the right reader for this one.

A delight. I felt like it was a much better version of For the Wolf with major Polish influence. I really enjoyed the ending too!

Book Review:
Where The Dark Stands Still.
By A.B. Poranek.
⭐4/5
I recently read a captivating story that truly resonated with me. The narrative drew me in right from the start, particularly due to Liska's unwavering determination and the enigmatic nature of the leszy character. Every twist and turn of the plot kept me engaged, prompting me to revisit the story time and time again. I had the privilege of accessing this book through Netgalley and Penguinrandomhouse , and despite having to set it aside occasionally due to the demands of a bustling family environment, I found myself so enamored with the tale that I also opted to procure the audiobook version for a more immersive experience.
Reflecting on the conclusion, I find myself grappling with mixed emotions. While I am satisfied with how the story wrapped up, there remains a lingering desire for further exploration and expansion on certain aspects. Despite this ambiguity, the overall impact of the book was significant, pulling me out of a prior reading slump and reigniting my passion for books.
