Unique. Sensuous. Haunting. Diverse characters and a great premise to the story. And I love how this book is both very modern and, at the same time, deeply immersed in traditional Eastern European folktales.
Yet I'm still not sure how I feel about this book. I loved the story. And the writing was beautiful—very eloquent. However, there were times where I felt the pacing was too slow—too many words to describe too many superfluous things. Sometimes the vision was clear. Other times it just meandered.
But, in the end, it is a worthy read and a fitting story for Halloween.
Note: I received this book as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released Nov 14, 2023.
