Wow what an excellent second book!! The world building is so vivid and atmospheric, as we continue this adventure steeped in Russian Folklore. I loved getting back into this world and found the pacing to be even better than book 1! I was on the edge of my seat, equal measures reading as quickly as I could to see what happened next and wanting to slow down to savor the story. As someone relatively new to fantasy, I cannot recommend this series enough!!

I read this as a buddy read and had the best time. Can’t wait for book 3 (even though I also don’t want to leave this world) 🩷 Also this book has reignited my obsession with Morozko 🤭
