This story immerses itself in a fantasy/fairy tale structure that I was not familiar with and does a good job weaving it through all parts of the story. I enjoyed the writing style, adventure, and focus on the autonomy of the main character. It’s a slowly but in a way that suites the story. The audiobook narrator is quite good and really leans into all the voices.

Stayed up until 1:13 to finish this so that’ll tell you something! I love Vasya as a protagonist - she is strong and kind and emotional. She is a fully-fledged person and I’m excited to continue her story.

wishbea's review against another edition

I cannot force myself to read the rest of this boring story with one dimensional characters, poor pacing and jarring POV changes.
