Thistlefoot

Some of my favorite books involve or allude to the story of Baba Yaga. I love that there are arguments about the etymology of Baba Yaga because her story can then be weaved into so many different Eastern European histories. I loved when Thistlefoot was narrating. I loved Bellatine and her embering. Isaac was whatever. The language used in his dialogue was more 1920's than current day which was very confusing when just after he calls Winnie “Doll,” the story will mention cell phones or something. I loved Winnie and Bellatine together. The Longshadow Man was terrifying. I really liked this interpretation.
