Vasilisa
Vasilisa | Julie Mathison
1 post
It's 1919, but in Edenfall, Pennsylvania, the Great War is not over -- not for Vasilisa, at least. Papa is presumed dead on the fields of Flanders, Mama is being courted by an absolute ogre, and now Babka, her beloved grandma, has had a bad spell. Or has she fallen under one? Only the Old Tales, the Russian fables Vasilisa was raised on, offer any comfort or counsel. But what if they are more than child's tales? Enter Ivan, who jumps a train at midnight and finds Vasilisa in a real fix. He's on his own quest, but Old Rus is calling from across time and both worlds, and if they heed the call, they might both get what they want. It won't be easy. Three witches, two children, one ogre - they're outnumbered and outclassed. Vasilisa has a secret weapon, in the humblest of guises, but will the meek truly inherit the earth? Or will the mighty prevail? One thing is certain: it's a fairy tale of their own making, a tale whose happy ending is ever in doubt.

Elena the Brave by Julie Mathison is one of the top 5 books I‘m most looking forward to reading - And I just started it! Russian folklore, Vasilisa, Baba Yaga… need I say more? Thank you Julie and @netgalley for the opportunity to read this book! I LOVED the first one, Vasilisa!
