This book takes you to a magical place. It allows you to feel like you're actually in the settings of the book, which range from castles and towers to icy forests infiltrated by magic. There is a certain magic to this book and the writing, that makes you feel as though you can see everything.
It tells the story of a young girl who comes face-to-face with the magic in her home and how she handles it. It's a fascinating blend of romance, mystery, fantasy, intrigue and history as the tale's foundation is in Russian fairy tales and legends.
It is absolutely worth reading if you want to be spellbound, but obviously start with the first book. Personally, I liked the first book more but this was definitely a strong sequel.
