Chernevog

I read this book when I was in fifth grade... I just now found it because I had forgotten the name... I mean that was quite a few years ago. This book had made an impression, for the longest time I've tried to remember the title, I kept thinking it was Cherevnog so I'd do searches with it... but my search would come up empty. Finally after nearly 15 yrs I found the book that had caught and kept my attention at such a young age. This was the first and only fantasy novel I had ever read and it captivated me. Great book a MUST read, I will be purchasing a copy for my library.

Chernevog, Rusalka, and Yvengie are the greatest books. I enjoyed the atmosphere. An old-time russian fairy-tale. This series pulled together bits of all folklore I know, and even taught me some things I wasn't aware of. The characters are likeable, even the truely evil ones. You can imagine where they are coming from and why it is they are acting like they are. Perhaps it is a bit predictable, but it's a fairy-tale.
