In Russian folklore, the figure of a witch holds a prominent position. Often referred to as 'Baba Yaga,' the Russian folklore witch is a complex and intriguing character. She is depicted as an old woman who possesses supernatural abilities and lives deep in the forest, usually in a hut that stands on chicken legs. Baba Yaga is known to be an ambiguous character, sometimes serving as a helper, while at other times, a malicious antagonist. She is usually shown as being knowledgeable about both good and evil magic and can be capricious and unpredictable. While she often aids heroes in their quests, she demands a steep price for her assistance and can be ruthless if her demands are not met.

1. Sarah - 1 star
I found "Russian folklore witch" to be extremely disappointing. The storyline was weak and predictable, and the characters lacked depth and development. The author failed to create any sense of suspense or intrigue, and I found myself bored throughout the entire book. The writing style was also quite lackluster and did not capture my attention. Overall, I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a captivating and engaging read.
2. Mark - 2 stars
While "Russian folklore witch" had an interesting premise, I felt let down by the execution. The pacing of the story was uneven, with long stretches of dull and repetitive scenes, followed by rushed and confusing plot twists. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to connect with the characters. Additionally, the world-building was lacking, leaving me with many unanswered questions about the setting and its magical elements. Overall, I believe there are better options available for those interested in Russian folklore-based novels.
3. Emily - 2.5 stars
I had high hopes for "Russian folklore witch," but unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations. The narrative felt disjointed, jumping between different time periods and perspectives without clear transitions. This made it hard to follow the story and connect with the characters. Furthermore, the writing style was overly descriptive, with excessive details that distracted from the main plot. While the author attempted to weave elements of Russian folklore into the story, they felt forced and out of place. Overall, I found this book to be a confusing and underwhelming read.
