Book Review: Veronica Roth taps into her Polish roots for 'When Among Crows,' a lore-packed novella
Dymitr is on a secret, personal mission, and it starts with facing the creature who’s guarding the fern flower as it blooms for the summer solstice. “When Among Crows” dives into the world of Slavic mythology. Veronica Roth, bestselling author of the “Divergent” series, taps into her Polish roots, placing nightmarish and intriguing creatures alike in modern-day Chicago. Donna Edwards of The Associated Press says Roth's novella is best devoured in one or two sittings. Gruesome yet cavalier, “When Among Crows” has action, romance, and a healthy helping of mythology. “When Among Crows” is scheduled for release on Tuesday from Tor Books.
