atypicalley 's review for:

Where the Dark Stands Still by A.B. Poranek
4.25
adventurous dark emotional mysterious sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

There is some truly delectable description tucked away in here, if you can stomach the present tense (which always throws me off when I see it, but worked well). 

Lovingly rendered Polish legends, tenderly worded enemies to lovers, and a stellar ending. 

If I had any complaints, it’s the combination of a slow pacing and a difficulty understanding how, exactly, magic actually works in this world — given the way the book works, they’re tied together.
