A lush and interesting fairytale about a knight who split his soul in half to make a sword from his own spine who wants to find Baba Yaga and a cursed Zmora who needs a cure and needs his help. Dymitr is a knight who was raised to kill and in order to do so he had to split his soul in half to make a sword from his own spine. He's killed so many... and now he's in search of Baba Yaga. This was such an interesting read and it definitely gave me Wizard of Oz vibes but with such a unique twist and turn and it even has creatures from Slavic lore. It's got a sweet story about the families we build and the ones we destroy and the three characters in this were so interesting (no spoilers on the third character so you'll definitely have fun when you read it). It's a short and fun fantasy read and I would definitely recommend it.
