In the town of Chicago there are two worlds intertwined as one. One filled with the folklore of monsters and the other a world filled with humans who are feasted upon.
Dymitr is on a mission to find the feared Baba Jaga, but he needs help. He soon meets Ala, who is cursed and will die if she can not find a cure. Dymitr strikes a deal with Ala, if she helps him find Baba Jaga he will give her the highly sought after magical flower that may break her of her family’s curse.
But there is a catch they only have one day before the flower dies….and Ala with it.
Overall rating 2 /5
I really wanted to like this book but ultimately just felt so lost in all the Polish folklore. I would have loved some more in-depth explanation or world building to explain how these characters existed. I wanted to see more context to the whole story. It just felt so rushed. This could be a great book given more development and backstory. It was also difficult to get over the accents given by the narrators. It truly made me disconnect from the story even more.
