Where the Dark Stands Still is Howl's Moving Castle meets Uprooted by Naomi Novik wrapped in a Polish folklore inspired bow. On top of the misunderstood monster and the romance that blossoms between him and our main character Liska, this book also features a sentient house, a dark forest, and a hearth spirit that takes the form of a cat. What's not to love? This is on track to be one of my favorite reads of the year! ~ Reviewed by Cassidy Washburn
