When Among Crows

I’m a sucker for a Baba Jaga story

 I’m a sucker for a Baba Jaga story, so I was in on this one immediately. It is a packed novella steeped in Slavic folklore that begins with Dymitr on a quest: first to retrieve a guarded plant that might cure Ala’s curse and next to bargain with her for a hint on how to seek an audience with Baba Yaga herself. It’s an at times painful and fascinating but ultimately hopeful urban fantasy set in Chicago.
