voicetrocity 's review for:
Thistlefoot
by GennaRose Nethercott
Two, estranged, siblings, Bellatine and Isaac Yaga are brought together through inheriting a home from their twice great grandmother. Along with the house, they also inherit the generations of memories ensconced in the house. However, they also inherit the gaze/attention of the specter "Longshadow Man".
The ancestral Yaga instinct to run from the Longshadow Man's attention (As well as the siblings’ own traumas and idiosyncrasies) lead them on an adventure that takes them on a journey through part of the U.S., while the Longshadow Man leaves a trail of destructive evidence in their wake.
Eventually the Siblings must come together to embrace each part of themselves, their shared histories and use their inherited Yaga traits to stop the Longshadow man and bring resolution/peace to Thistlefoot and the Yaga family.
The story is a lot darker than I anticipated, but the flow was beautiful. We get multiple POV's, hearing Bellatine, Isaac's and even Thistlefoots POV's; each character had a unique voice so that I was never confused or lost over who was speaking and where we were in the story.
There is heavy, but poignant themes of honoring the past and the people in our lives who have helped to shape who we are. I found myself nodding and smiling at the end.
