This book is so different from anything else I’ve read. It felt very mystical and I Vasya was an easy character to relate to. The different names for each character and the POV changes often left me confused and while I enjoyed the story of the folklore from the beginning I was a little lost because the character names in the story were the similar to the characters in the book and I wasn’t sure if the book was just telling me a same longer drawn out version of the story? But I’m invested! I look forward to reading book 2.
