Talia Haven writes a dramatic Russian Fantasy

In Harvest of the Deathless Children, the reader is introduced to several characters, starting with the Leshly, an interesting tree-like creature, that with the help of Gods of Fate, make deals with barren, mortal women. This is one of those hidden gem's that pull you in. Insert Renata, mother of Jasminka, that has given birth, however, this is not just an ordinary birth. Talia Haven is one for writing the best mythological stories, and historical fiction, that is more than historical, it's ancient. She writes with passion, and with her knowledge of various topics of ancient lore, fantasy, myths, her stories come alive. Renata is one of those characters, that you feel sorry for, and then you don't. She tries to undo what her daughter agreed to, and now it's time for vengeance, especially from the Leshly. Talia Haven builds great worlds, and this is one of the more interesting worlds. I learned a bit about Russian fantasy, and I like more should read her work, all of it. This story is a wondrous trail of words. Tantalizing and intriguing! Just wait until you find out what deathless children really mean ... and that's where I leave you.
