 Review: So, once upon a time, I subscribed to Owlcrate subscription box. And in that box, Vassa in the Night was what I was recommended to read. I wasn't excited for the book, but I thought that it was a short one which would really be a quick read. I wasn't sure. 
 This book contains a shitload of weirdness, intense magic, and actions the opposite of imperceptibility. The cover of the book did not strike me as a creepy or anything near that, the blurb didn't as well. Of course, this book was something more than I expected it to be and it went really well. 
 Terribly, weirdly going, Vassa, the protagonist, was irritating, inconvenient, and whiny. She made all her wrong decisions and make everyone suffer because of her. Of course, all of these Baba Yaggs incidents wouldn't happen in the first place if she didn't run off. I did not predict for her to listen to what her sister said. Pain in the ass. Baba Yaggs, this incredibly horrible witch, who would execute anyone who tried to steal items from her BY store in the middle of the night (yes! of course she knew because she has all her hands (yes, only hands) in every isle). She's a very ferocious woman. She doesn't falter at anything and of course, she likes to torture Vassa. I did not expect her to be a gentlewoman even though Vassa had pity for her. 
 I'm not sure if I was familiar with the writing. It was seriously confusing at some parts for me, but it was very creepy how Porter used her words to describe her scenes, additional to her ready creepy plot. I'm not particularly a huge fan of this much creepiness or weirdness. I wasn't really invested with the plot. I didn't really like the setting because it didn't really make sense that even the police can't help the citizen/get rid of Babs. I am not really much liking the part of the deal and the way the magic works in this world. 
 Overall: t took me pretty long to finish this book. I got really bored at some parts and also because of the confusion, but I really appreciate the effort Porter put in this book, but I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone because I didn't really like it that much myself.
