4 Star

Agnieszka lives in a small village surrounded by cursed wood.  Every 10 years the wizard requires a choosing where someone from the village goes to help him hold the curse back.  Everyone assumes the upcoming choosing Kasia will be chosen as she is beautiful, graceful, and brave.  When she isn’t chosen by Agnieszka is instead chosen, she is going to have to learn all

This was a book based on the Polish fairy tale Baba Yaga.  I love fairy tale books reimagined.  I loved seeing how this worked out.  Agnieszka was a very strong character.  She knew what she wanted, and she worked for it.  She also didn’t take shit from anyone, including Sarkan.  Sarkan was a prick throughout the book I really enjoyed his character and he balanced Agnieszka.  I liked the progression of their relationship.  I loved how the book ended.  It will be interesting to see if these two will be back in the next book.
