Part fairy tale and part medieval Russian saga, I enjoyed this series immensely. Though this book takes on a darker side than the previous two, it was still a vastly enjoyable read.

Zakończenie trylogii, która oczarowała mnie baśniowym klimatem połączonym ze słowiańską kulturą. Dodajcie jeszcze do tego temat ustępowania, a raczej współistnienia chrześcijaństwa i słowiańskich wierzeń, a powinniście mieć całkiem niezły obraz klimatu jaki znajdziecie w tej historii.
I chociaż poprzednie części momentami dłużyły mi się niemiłosiernie, tak tutaj mamy idealne wyważenie tempa akcji. Co więcej, nie możemy narzekać na to, że zostaliśmy bez odpowiedzi, czy że zapomniano o jakiś wątkach - nie wiem jak Wy, ale ja ostatnie podajrzanie często trafiam na takie sytuacje. Katherine Arden postarała się, żeby wszystko ładnie zamknąć. Przez co może i nie jest to seria, po której będziecie mieli kaca książkowego, ale z drugiej strony - czy to jest wyznacznikiem dobrej serii?

This series finished on such a gorgeous high note that I don't want a continuation and or further stories of Vasya and her Death/Winter King. It is perhaps the best fairy-tale/retelling/fantasy series I've completed since finishing Fitz and the Fool. (High praise, right?)
The growth of the main character is one I've come to really adore and look back upon with fondness. So much have I read stories in which the main character is obsessed with finding the male to solve her issues and or the story takes a detour when the couple reunite. Not this story. But hey, she has done so much for Russia that she has to be rewarded somewhere. (That's all I'm gonna say!)
Honestly. If you want a story in which sacrifice, beauty, family, romance, and growth all come together in a glorious finale, this is the book. This is the series. This needs to be adapted to film.

The Winternight trilogy holds a very special place in my heart. There are no words to describe the marvelousness of the whole story. I don’t know if I have ever felt more connected to a character, to a book or to such an amazing reading experience. Now, that I’ve finished the trilogy, I’m missing it more than ever (as I’ve grown so attached to it) and I’m looking forward to rereading it soon. I would like to thank Katherine Arden for sharing her beautiful story with the world. It would’ve been way less magical if she didn’t.

A review of this from me would be mediocre in comparison to the enjoyment I got out of it. I am no expert in medieval history, but I have long been fascinated with it. The combination of history and folklore made this book series a pleasure and delight, despite my having little knowledge of either Russian history or its folklore. I appreciate being able to walk away from it with slightly more knowledge than before I walked into this lush world of Tatars and boyars, chyerti, and crazed priests.
