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.

I am enamored with this book. It is so beautifully written, and evokes the feeling I used to get when I read fairy tales as a child. Vasya is so compelling a main character that you cannot help but root for her throughout every moment.
