Finding Baba Yaga by Jane Yolen
2.0
I received the ARC via NetGalley. Two things struck me when I saw this book available on NetGalley: 1-the author and 2-the title. I have read The Devil’s Arithmetic by Jane Yolen. I liked how I was able to get sucked into the narrative in that book. I grew up reading a version of Baba Yaga, so I was interested to see how she would interpret this story.
This story is written in verse. It has a poetry like feel, but it isn’t really poetry. It is dark, darker than I thought it would be. This is in the sense of the subject; it is not necessarily a “scary” book. This is a very short read; I finished it in one sitting. Yolen definitely gave her own spin on this classic tale. However, it was not my cup a tea.
