The Firebird's Tale by Anya Ow

5.0

This was so good ❤️ I loved everything about it. It seems to draw a lot on Russian and/or Eastern European fairy tales and folklore - I don't know much about it, but I recognise some things from other stories I've read (uprooted, in particular, springs to mind). I loved the tales the firebird told and how they were all connected, and how they were also real and connected to history (the history of this world, anyway, not the real one I live in...). I loved the way they slowly fell in love and dealt with it, with them having vastly different natures and world views and ways of loving, and I love that nazar came back. I find myself wondering if there'll be a sequel - if we'll get to see how the world changes and what'll happen in the new world, and how aleksei and nazar fit into it...

Highly recommended for anyone who loves fairytale inspired fantasy and romance. This was wonderful. ❤️
