"Deathless" has something for everyone — the writing is beautiful, it's sexy, it's a retelling of Russian folklore from a super unique perspective, it's well-written historical fiction. The way that humanity and mythology are wrapped around each other to help reinforce the real life events was very clever and as I grow older I find myself appreciating that more each re-read.
Our heroine is fierce, and brave, and strong, and Valente's writing will never not be so hauntingly poetic to me. I have so much I want to say about this book but so few words with which to say it, so for now, let's chalk it up to this: "Deathless" is an ultimate Hot Girl Book and the girls that get it, get it.
