I'm really enjoying it, but it's a difficult read and I'm dumb. Will definitely pick it back up at a later date.

This probably became one of my favourite books ever. It feels like something precious I want to hold close and cherish over and over again.

Definitely a book I'll be re-reading. I know there's so much I missed, but god damn, does Valente develop some mesmerizing characters here. I know they come from traditional Russian folklore, but the way she filled them in and fleshed them out was truly incredible. I kind of fell in love with Koschei, not going to lie. Truly beautiful, but one that I KNOW I have to read again!

My only thought upon finishing was
"F*cking what??"
This is honest something I'll have to reread again to even understand.
