![]() ![]() Wicked Saints starts with a strong female protagonist named Nadezhda Leptova, or simply Nadya, in grave danger. While I was initially drawn right in, I found as I went further along that the plot was sometimes confusing, characters’ motivations puzzling, and the overall bloodiness just off-putting. I am not sure if I will continue reading when volume 2 comes out next year. I was not aware until I started writing the review that it is the first book in what will be a longer series, but that comes as something of a relief as the ending to this story left much up in the air. Wicked Saints has strong Slavic overtones, evident in names and geography, which I find appealing because of my own personal interests. It is also the story of two nations at war over politics and religion. It’s a fantasy story of a young woman, a cleric, who has a unique and powerful connection to the gods. ![]() I hadn’t heard of this novel before but saw it at the bookstore and thought it looked interesting. ![]()
