Warnings for these 18 first percent are amazing :) I love a good powerplay in a fiction relationship, I repeat, LOVE it. I tried to push through but it's no fun and a nauseating read.

A beautifully-written book that combines Soviet Russia, Russian folklore, and the cold realities of war to talk about the relationship between life and death. Definitely worth reading at least once.

I didn't know what to expect when I started reading this book and I still don't know what to think about it now that I have finished it.
It was a complicated book to read mostly because I didn't know anything about russian mythology. It was still very interesting to read and though I didn't always enjoy it understand it I am definitely glad I read it and pushed through the difficult parts. I'm still not quite sure what to think but it definitely taught me a lot.
