Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik

I really liked Miryem, but the plot was very slow moving. I just got to the part where
the Staryk makes an appearance,
so I don't have a clear idea of what's going to happen next, and I don't exactly feel a sense of danger from the Staryk.
They need Miryem for turning silver to gold, so they can't exactly harm her.

Wonderful story, but I didn't understand why the villains weren't vanquished earlier.

Also, the narrator didn't change her voice for the various POVs so it was difficult to realize who was speaking.

Liked the story but a little hard to read through. Slow at times and writing seemed choppy.
