Özet

Brought to you by Penguin.

A sweeping gothic fairytale romance for fans of A Curse so Dark and Lonely by Brigid Kemmerer and Gallant by V.E. Schwab.

Raised in a small village near the spirit-wood, Liska Radost knows that Magic is monstrous, and its practitioners, monsters.

After Liska unleashes her own powers with devastating consequences, she is caught by the demon warden of the wood - the Leszy - who offers her a bargain: one year of servitude in exchange for a wish.

Whisked away to his crumbling manor, Liska makes an unsettling discovery. She is not the first person to strike this bargain. And if she wants to survive the year and return home, she must unravel her host's spool of secrets and face the ghosts of his past.
Those who enter the wood do not always return . . .

Eleştirmen yorumları

The roots of Polish folklore flourish beautifully in Where the Dark Stands Still, conjuring an unforgettable tale of forbidden love, dark magic, and one girl finding herself in the depths of the woods. I absolutely loved it. (Ava Reid)

A lovely story wonderfully narrated. Would love to get my hands on a sequel for this!

Hoping there's a sequel!

This was a lovely contained story of trust, love and found family. The Polish setting and mythology create a rich background and world for the story to play out. As someone that adored both versions of Howl's Moving Castle as a teen this felt similar in some respects and I loved it for that. The characters are fully realised and distinct, even if the leads are dramatic at times, they seem real and perfect for a YA novel. I hope the narrator reads more books as this was a solid performance and I enjoyed each character's voice. Furthermore, I can't wait for whatever this author writes next.

This was a 5 star read for me until the final chapters. The end had a note of satisfaction and still enjoyed the book, but the direction at the very end took the edge off what is otherwise a fabulous slavic folklore x beauty and the beast retelling.

Charming
