Hey guys, I hope you all are having a great day and this is my review to Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente. Koschei the Deathless is to Russian folklore what devils or wicked witches are to European culture: a menacing, evil figure; the villain of countless stories which have been passed on throu...
32. DEATHLESS, BY CATHERYNNE M. VALENTE (Book 1 of Deathless)This one was recommended to me by one of my friends after I told her I liked fairytale retellings.

I think I don't know enough about Russian folklore to fully taste everything in this book—but at the same time, I knew enough folklore (as well as history) to be...
I feel like this took me FOREVER to finish (because school sucks and I get no time to read) but I finished my classes today and finally finished it! Regardless of my reading time, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The only problem I had was that the ending dragged a lot for me, and then kind of ended ...
