Deathless by Catherynne M. ValenteMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
I wanted so much to like this book, but unfortunately, I didn't. I guess that my biggest problem with the story is that I don't know anything about Russian folklore, and not much of its history either so in the end I got a story that seems pointless most of the time to me. It is a shame because I ususaly like this kind of urban fantasy stories, and Valente can certainly weave very well some magics in her books. But it did not work for me in this one.
I think that part of the problem is also that I enjoyed the chapters in the fantasy world, but all the parts in the Russia world, mainly towards the end just killed the book for me. More specifically, I just found those parts with Ivan very boring.
