Just a few hours after finishing this book I already missed the characters and reading about Russia and Russian folklore
I wish there'd been an epilogue or something, I don't know... I just want to see Marya with her own little pony at Lesnaya Zemlya or getting to know more chyerti (especially little babie Ded Grib π) at the house by the lake. I want to know how Irina and Alyosha are doing! I want to see little Marya meet them. Show me Marya and Solovey's reunion ππ
Gimme a Marya spinoff book pls π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί I love her
Edit, after reflection
I'm in love with this trilogy and plan on owning all three books sometime soon. Everything about them was perfect for me: unfamiliar (to me) folklore and setting, slow-paced, effective emotional scenes, well developed characters and relationships between them, the perfect level of a romantic sub-plot, a babie mushroom boy. What more could I ask for?
