Baba Yaga's Daughter and Other Stories of the Old Races by C.E. Murphy

5.0

I was ecstatic when I got this in the mail yesterday, after waiting for ten months from the day I ordered it for it to arrive. But being in November and therefore the middle of NaNoWriMo meant that I could use this book as a motivation tool. I couldn't start reading until I hit 35,000 words, and once I reached that goal I really didn't want to put this book down.

Unfortunately I had to because in the middle of "Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" I started falling asleep. As soon as I woke up this morning I dove right back into this book and now it's finished and the stories were all amazing. I loved reading more about Janx and Daisani and it was fun to see more of their shared past and some of the aspects of their rather complicated relationship.

It has been so long since I have read the Negotiator trilogy that now I think I'm going to have to go back and read them, just to make sure I didn't somehow miss something in these stories.

Baba Yaga's Daughter will join my other C.E. Murphy books as some of my all-time favorite reads, and this book is made even more special by the fact that it is an autographed copy from a limited edition run, #72 of 1000. Anyone who has the opportunity to read these books or any by C.E. Murphy should, because she is absolutely brilliant. I can't wait for her next book. It doesn't matter if it is published through the traditional route, through self-published e-books, or through Kickstarter, I am a HUGE fan of her and will gladly purchase any and all of her books.
