Passion and rage drive this queer dark fantasy tale. I first heard about Merciless Waters through the Cutthroat Queens podcast and it lives up to the intrigue!
My favorite part of this book is how ancient Slavic folklore ties into timeless feminine rage. The whole concept is rad and makes for an equally entertaining, thought-provoking, and satisfying read.
Thanks for the chance to check this book out for free. I'm leaving this review of my own accord.
