The is the second book in this trilogy by Katherin Arden. I had read the first book months ago and loved it, it is one of those books that find yourself thinking about long after you have finished it. This second book in the trilogy is just as good, full of adventure, magic, and engaging characters.
This book is so well written, I really read this one slowly so I could enjoy every sentence. The setting of Russia in winter is bleak and cold, the characters are half frozen through much of the book. I felt like the cold and snow were characters in the book they were so much a part of it.
Vasya's character has matured in this one, though she can still be impulsive and determined to do things her own way. You cannot help but feel for her and hope she somehow finds her way.
I found this one to be just as good as the first and I am looking forward to reading the final book in this great trilogy.
