Summary
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...

Lovely
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.

Good story but narration was off
Really liked this story but the narration felt very mismatched - it made it sound childlike, which was especially off-putting for the romantic elements of the story. Also, the voice for the mmc sounded like a pompous old man rather than a handsome young one. Ruined the intensity for me but it might just be a taste thing.

lovely story
i have absolutely loved this story. it kinda gave me beauty and the beast vibes. all the mystery and secrets that are in there. a girl walking into the wood one night. to then fall for the demon in the woods. They become a great team. this whole story was full off fantasy as well.
this is would recommend to anyone to read/listen too.
