The Demon in the Wood by Leigh Bardugo

4.0

This definitely does a good job at humanizing the Darkling. I think the Darkling is an interesting character and while I thoroughly enjoyed it I do wish it was longer. This novella shows one instance that the darkling finds himself being isolated and targeted for being different I would have loved to see more of these moments and even possibly past love interests that failed due to his powers. Seeing Aleksander Morozova become consumed by the Darkness until he is the Darkling is something I’m definitely interested in reading.
