I have definitely procrastinated writing this review for too long, to the point where I quite literally forgot what I wanted to say. New year's resolution for me: write shorter reviews, so that you can actually find the time to.
Anyway, all I remember I wanted to say is that I found this book interesting, with many elements from Polish folklore that fascinated me, stimulating my curiosity. Sure, nothing too crazy, but I did enjoy it a lot. Only thing is I often felt like there were some problems with the pacing, the characters' decisions sometimes seemed too rushed, the human dynamics between them not always aligned with the rhythm of narration. However it did not bother me too much, and it was still a very nice read.
