This book was such a delightful surprise for me! I went in knowing absolutely nothing about it. It was featured on my cloudlibrary homepage and the description sounded enticing--I love eastern European culture and myth! Yet I didn't expect to love it as much as I did, given the circumstances of how I came across it. It might be one of my new favorites. The folklore is unique and descriptive, as is the world building (the existence of monsters and airships was worked in seamlessly), brought to life by Polydoros' intricate writing. I really liked the main trio of characters too; they had great chemistry. I read this as an audiobook and the narrator's performance was also top-of-the-line--one of the most passionate readings I've heard, with the narrator taking on a distinct voice for every character! I will say, I might have found the story a bit slow if I hadn't been listening to it, but on audio, that made it extra delightful and cozy. I highly recommend it and hope we get a sequel!
