I feel like this book needed more Slavic mythology or just more to it in general. I really hope there's a sequel so that my questions can be answered.
It was still a very beautifully written book. The way the creatures and their otherness were described makes it very easy to picture each species. And the rituals that are practiced for different spells are also well written into excruciating detail. Made me wince a few times reading them.

I was able to download the ARC for this book after having it on my want to read list since I saw it on the author's Instagram promotions almost a year ago and it definitely lived up to my expectations!
Slavic monsters, a slavic witch, and one hell of an adventure! The characters were fun and I found myself trying to sort through all the clues to piece the mystery together just to be surprised that only some were correct and completely wrong about others that I though were super obvious! If you know your slavic monsters, then this book is definitely for you. If you love The Witcher and going monster hunting, this book is for you. If you love a good heist, then this book is for you! After all, what's a bigger heist than trying to steal from the Tsar of Monsters himself? I thought this was going to be just a monster hunting extravaganza but it was so much more and I loved every second of it!
