The Sins on Their Bones by Laura R. Samotin

2.5

Why are "inspired by x folklore" authors so scared of doing anything interesting and status-quo disrupting. People are already going to hate you for being Jewish regardless of if you prize rightful-heirdom and normalcy or not. Alexey and your batshit insane demon army and death-defying inhuman thing-ness, we barely knew ye. (Okay that's a lie, just, well. Who in the 2020s cares about Tzars??? God bless and keep both these Tzars far away from us.)
