The book becomes a deep dive into the world's magic lore that unfolds the story. Plus some good action.
As a warning though, some of the violence is brutal. Not symbolic, action-movie violence.
A beautiful little novella that's inspiring my to write my own short story.
The characters loves slowly get told to connect with them better; and each character talking a forefront from chapter to chapter is how perspectives are written right.
The world building for such a short book is very good, that constantly explains the characters surroundings showing us that all of this mystical fantasy things happens in present day to root you (it's better than some books/series I've read). The characters are dynamic and lovable, and the amount of Polish folklore and fable creatures and their history was fun to read about too.
The journey that entails is one with a twist I wasn't expecting but one that seemed very fitting, with a happy and satisfying ending
I didn't care about the story at all.
This book devoured me. Elegant prose, fascinating world, refreshing magic, deep complicated characters, everything was a hit for me. The narrators were all fantastic and really brought this to life in a way my own inner voice would fail to do, especially since I am unfamiliar with Polish. There was an editing error, or so I assume, and the last 90seconds was duplicated earlier in the final chapter, which made it hit a little less as the send off. But maybe it’s the same in the print version and something went over my head.
