The Best Book I've Ever Read

I loved this entire series; from the writing style to the plot nothing is basic about this book. I loved the story-telling aspect of it and the way that Arden brings Russian folklore to life. It was very different from the fantasy books I'm used to reading; it's a very fresh approach and concept for this historical fantasy. Beautifully told and made me feel like I was living this experience with Vasya herself

I devoured this book, ordering the second and third books before I was half through.

A captivating telling of Russian folklore, the tale weaves itself around you until you don’t want to put the book down. I have firm imagery in my mind for all of the characters and the settings, the writing is spellbinding.

A great read

A strong independent heroine. Intriguing writing style

Such a lovely book!

This is one of the most amazing books! I loved how the author tied Russian folklore and vocabulary into a such an enticing story. A little dark but truly a story to remember.
