Several friends had recommended this book to me, but I had no idea until I borrowed a copy from the library that this is actually the sequel to The Bear and the Nightingale, which I recently finished and am still recovering from emotionally! The Girl in the Tower is the second book in the Winternight Trilogy, a magical tale which follows a young Russian girl as she battles not only evil magical forces but also the expectations set by her community during medieval Russia. Now, I have extremely high standards for books, and I do not dub this book my new favorite lightly! Arden's knowledge and love for Russian history and mythology is obvious, and she masterfully weaves a tale containing an impassioned heroine and lovable Frost Demon, as well as some characters that you just love to hate. Filled to the brim with love, danger, adventure, and longing, this is a story that will not soon be forgotten by readers of any age.
