A review by dhatislandbookworm
The Night of Baba Yaga by Akira Otani

dark fast-paced

1.0

I almost DNF’d this multiple times. 

The first time was at 4%, but I let it slide because of the time period it’s set in. 

The second time however, the ONLY reason I didn’t DNF was because I had ~35 minutes left in the audiobook.
 
Baba Yaga is brutal. There is gratuitous violence towards women, which I already expected based on the blurb. However, the sheer amount of it just felt like an excuse to be cruel. Especially because the audiobook is only 4 hours long. 
 
And once we got to that 80% mark? Yeah, no. It completely lost me. 
 
The characters are one-dimensional, the entire plot felt rushed, and the end was confusing. 

Anyway, this book serves no purpose ✌🏾
