Baba Yaga's Daughter & Other Tales of the Old Races by Thomas Canty, C.E. Murphy
5.0
This collection of short stories that reach back into the 19th century to eventually arrive in the 21th took me by surprise. I found the audiobook available from my local library and jumped to the occasion as I had read the whole Walker Paper series by this author a few years back and had loved it with its bringing together of urban fantasy and a shamanistic world view. I also still am a book shy in her The Negotiator series.
And then I started to listen to this audiobook. It was a treat. Do not get me wrong, the narrator does not fit all the roles, that at least is my take, but the stories that are being told are so far reaching and amazing, and C.E. Murphy has such an interesting view on the old races, the dragons and vampires and Baba Yaga's daughter.
It was a delight to listen to this audiobook and see the bigger story unfold.
Now, I finally feel ready to face the last book in the Negotiator series and hopefully, there are more tales to come about the old races.
And just in case you are unsure, C.E. Murphy's female characters rock, they play their role and they do it with a twinkle in the eye. Strong, unfazed and empowering.
