Really liked it. Stag reminded me of some of the imagery in the starless Sea. Enjoyable YA fantasy read. And I love my sentient houses! #sentienthouse
Bk20 of my 2024 #BookMail is another gorgeous edition. This novel is based on Eastern European mythology.Raised in a village near the spirit-wood, Liska knows magic is dangerous & its practitioners monstrous. After a deadly mistake, Liska travels into the dangerous wood guarded by a demon to steal a mythical fern flower. Pluck it and she can use its one wish to banish her own power. But to survive she has to face the secrets & ghosts of the past.
Meet the darker, gothier little sister of Uprooted and The Bear and the Nightingale—with a hint of Howl‘s Moving Castle! Rooted in Polish folklore and set in a wickedly magical wood full of dangers and wonders alike, this grim yet romantic young adult fantasy marks the debut of a writer to watch.
