Spring's Arcana
by Lilith Saintcrow
DID NOT FINISH: 29%
Unfortunately, this book just wasn’t the right one for me. I love fantasy, especially the kind that is sometimes called urban fantasy or magical realism, where the fantastical elements interact with the real/regular world. And so I thought this book would be a great fit for me, with its take on Baba Yaga mythology. (I haven’t read American Gods so I can’t comment on that comparison.) I absolutely loved another recently published book that centered on a retelling of Baba Yaga (Thistlefoot) and was hoping for another winner here.
I wound up putting down this book/audiobook a couple of times and trying again, but at nearly 30%, I still wasn’t sure who was who and what was going on and so I finally decided to give up. I kept hoping I’d get to the publicized road trip but at that point it still wasn’t looking like it was happening anytime soon.
The bright spot was the narration by the ever-wonderful Barrie Kreinik, but even she couldn’t save this story for me.
