I wish I could forget and start reading again without an idea what awaits me.

I really wish that these were all stories of Saints' lives, not few random tales about their miracles, because we learned the actual ones from other books.

DNF, przekartkowałom do końca. Ale memuszki i fanarty na tumblrze bardzo spoko.

frunie się przez to, i jest mi naprawdę szkoda, że nie dawkowałam sobie bardziej, bo to bardzo porządna antologia jest, żadne z opowiadań nie schodzi poniżej pewnego poziomu, a kilka z nich chętnie przeczytałabym w dłuższej formie.

tylko po co te strony z cytatami w środku każdego tekstu?

gdyby Antonycz zdążył się zestarzeć i zgorzknieć, zapewne pisałby podobne wiersze.

that was way more fun than I have expected, enough that I ordered actual books before I finished this one.

hello my favourite trope, characters not talking with each other!
pacing at the beginning kinda threw me off, but overall still enjoyabe enough.
but. Dear author. Did you really had to name a character “Hello”?

why did I start reading a book series that is not finished yet?
beside that I am delighted, 4,5.

to nie jest najlepsza książka Marty Kisiel.
to moja ulubiona książka Marty Kisiel.

4,75, for the pacing was weird at times.
that was EERIE, in the most wonderful way. Love and respect for people and folklore put in writng those books can be compared only to Deathless, which I love breathlessly.
instant favourite, I will be back not once and not twice.

solidne 3,5. Bardzo różnorodny zbiorek, żadne z opowiadań nie schodzi poniżej pewnego poziomu, kilka perełek (Lekcja samotności!). I żar-ptak, żar-ptaka zawsze wezmę.

edit 12.01.2020: wiecie co, podciągnę ocenę, perełki na to zasługują.

it was actually much more enjoyable than I expected. Well, aside of kinda ridiculous and kinda irritating misuse of Russian words. But overall entertaining enough.

It was so beautiful.

och. Och. O rany.
jak pierwsza część była radosną eskapistyczną fantazją, tak ta bardzo często puka bardzo blisko domu. Obie pochłonęłam gryząc palce, obie zostaną ze mną w bardzo konkretny sposób. Potrzeba nam więcej takich książek.

it is so wonderfully familiar on so many levels.
also Wasia is nonbinary.

author's notes are unintendedly hillarious at times.
also, ma'am. Ma'am. You don't have to dwell over what “Russian” means. Just say Soviet.

I still have to reread few books in the series and a couple to read for the very first time, but this actually might be my favourite.
