I have only read a few translated works from Japanese and I am starting to realize that maybe the way that the Japanese people tell stories is not my favorite. I do think that the translation was well done and the audiobook narrator was fantastic, but the story was just okay to me. 
I thought that this story was going to be more about Baba Yaga and she was really only mentioned in passing which was a little disappointing. This book is also very gruesome which I understand during the time period is accurate but for such a short book it took me out of the story. 

I do want to thank NetGalley and SoHo Crime for allowing me to read this ARC.
