Shadowy

Viktoria's Prequel (Vampires & Strygoi Witches, Book 2.5)

De: Ysobella Black

Narrado por: Emiley Mitchell

Shadowy.

That was Shadow's existence for 5,000 years - until she learned in order to step out of her mother's shadow, she had to step into her own.

Travel to Pohjola - Louhi's domain, meet some of Shadow's sisters, the Maidens of Pohjola, and discover how Shadow became Viktoria.

This 14k word short story is about the deal Shadow made with her mother, Louhi, the Goddess of Witchcraft and Death. It is loosely based on Finnish mythology (the Kalevala) and serves as a companion work to the Vampires & Strygoi Witches series.

Baskerville Book Reviews

I had a lot of trouble following along with this story. It’s listed as book 2.5, but also a prequel. I thought that it being a prequel would mean it was meant to introduce new readers. As of me typing this, it’s the only book in this series that’s on audible, so I can’t listen to the first 2 books for context.

If you’re new to this series, like I am, give it a pass. If you’re a reader of this series, then I’m guessing you’ll probably enjoy this.

The audio narration was alright.
