pankadoll's review against another edition
Warnings for these 18 first percent are amazing :) I love a good powerplay in a fiction relationship, I repeat, LOVE it. I tried to push through but it's no fun and a nauseating read.

A beautifully-written book that combines Soviet Russia, Russian folklore, and the cold realities of war to talk about the relationship between life and death. Definitely worth reading at least once.

Starvation as a result of war is also described in significant detail.lisa_m's review against another edition

I didn't know what to expect when I started reading this book and I still don't know what to think about it now that I have finished it.
It was a complicated book to read mostly because I didn't know anything about russian mythology. It was still very interesting to read and though I didn't always enjoy it understand it I am definitely glad I read it and pushed through the difficult parts. I'm still not quite sure what to think but it definitely taught me a lot.
