Delightful and intriguing I'd heard of this book for a while, but didn't know too much about it. When I decided to read it, I ended up devouring it in about one day. It was an amazing story, well written and engaging. It covered quite a few things that I very much could connect and identify with. I loved it. What a delightful novel. Author Charlie Holmberg has a beautiful sense of style and world building. You find yourself thoroughly immersed in this quaint little Russian village where everything is lovely and delightful for the most part, even though Matrona, our protagonist, and the reader, are left with the lingering sense something is not quite right. I truly enjoyed this book throughout, especially towards the end as the plot began to pick up speed. The trope may be something we've seen before, but the author gives it her own flair, and it's no less enjoyable. Matrona is 26, but she seems to be caught in time so that her emotions and thoughts are that of a 16-year-old. She must work to save her village before all is lost.
