so-so
I was excited when I saw this was being released since I‘m very unfamiliar with the Slavic pantheon. This ended up being a little disappointing because it very briefly went over some Slavic gods and then instead focused on folktales. The folktales selected were very repetitive in that they were different variations of the same story most of the time. I love folktales, but it can be hard when hatred towards women is so prevalent in each story.
zezeki Sorry to hear that, I've recently bought this, and waiting for the perfect time to read it, which probably won't be so soon now. 1y
RosePressedPages @zezeki You might have a different interpretation of the stories than I did, but I think I‘m going to try and find some other Slavic mythology books to try out and compare. Perhaps it came down to the selection of stories and translation… 1y
RosePressedPages @zezeki Slavic Myths by Noah Charney and Svetlana Slapšak sounds like a better option 1y
