It is the second book of Winternight trilogy, written by Katherine Arden. It is based in the world of medieval Moscow, retelling a Russian fantasy tale.
This volume deepens our knowledge of the main characters - Vasya is grown up and you can read a lot of her struggles for freedom against the gender roles of her time. The Girl in the Tower is full of mortality, political intrigues, magic and love. The bond between Vasya and Morozko deepens and we find plenty of actions, fights and incoming deaths.
The book is described wonderfully and you find yourself immersed in an overwhelming atmosphere - magical world mixed with facts so you get yourself puzzled. It is a real (non-real) and exciting novel.
