    Religion vs Folklore?

    I'm so interested to hear how people's experience of this book and story differ based on their religious background. I myself am not religious and felt like while I was still led to sympathize to some extent with characters like Anna and Konstantin, that only went so far due to the misalignment with my personal beliefs. Especially for anyone who has a genuine belief in the existence of God and demons, I'd just love to know first if that was done justice and also how that colored the folklore elements of the book. On the flip, did anyone or their family actually grow up with folklore like this?

    This was a difficult one towards the end. It was enjoyable overall, but I struggle with certain topics.
