I died many years ago and the world is not the same anymore.

Holy moly this book was amazing! In the strictest sense of the word. Wonderful world building, characters, love story and plot. I don't know what kind of angel moved into me, but this was another 5 star (now 4.75) book and this one is definitely going to be one of my favorites! I'm seriously going to tell my grandchildren about this too, if they put their minds to reading.

Agatha is a very lovable and strong heroine who is not afraid to take certain steps, a real raging fire, the wrath and revenge of the goddess herself. Daniel, I knew it, I knew it was going to happen, but I tried to love him (the emphasis is on tried) but he was simply repulsive to me from the very beginning, especially after he was involved in the death of their father and brother, i will never forgive him again. I'm in a lot of trouble with Morok
(or Alexander)
and not because I don't like him (because I fell in love with him), but because he withheld so much important information from Agatha, but I understand why he did it, I really do, but now the wound he left with his dagger is too deep.

The plot was fine, albeit a bit long and difficult to digest if you're not in the right mood. The pace was maybe faster than it should have been, but I'm not complaining. The wording didn't really take me off my feet, but there were some nice things to say.

I recommend it to those who love Russian culture and mythology and want to read something that challenges their imagination, then you should definitely read this.
