Reseñas de la Crítica

"A beautiful deep-winter story, full of magic and monsters and the sharp edges of growing up." (Naomi Novik)

LOOOOVED THIS!

This was a great addition the the series and I can't wait for the next one!

Beautiful book

Usually the second book isn't as good as the first, but that isn't true for this story. Vassia finds herself and grows as a person. We get to know her other siblings and how Vassia can make an impact in the world.

I loved every minute of it.

An unexpected new favorite series!

I work at a library and came across the first book, The Bear and the Nightingale, while shelving returns. I was intrigued and was looking for a new fantasy story. That first book was enthralling and this book, the 2nd, captivated me. It took me to a place I wasn't familiar with, left me cold, trembling, and ignited a fire within me heart. I felt what Vasya felt and saw what she saw. The description is impecable and the the story is a fairytale like no other. I will be buying a hardcopy of both books and look forward to reading the next!

Loved it!

If you like history but also a fairytales you’ll love this. Russian stories of both types are not mainstream so I was very drawn in. Also gave a real perspective on how women were kept down in all classes, but how one at least defied those rules.... but not without cost. I can’t wait for the third book!

Wonderful fairytale

This is well written fun adventure filled tale. The characters are relatable and intriguing enough you want to see what happens next

Delightful!

Just an absolutely delightful audiobook all around. Great fairy tale story with a lot of complexity, probably could be listens to buy older children but meant for adults. wonderful story, well written, with excellent narration. A wonderful little gym that I am so glad I stumbled across.

must read trilogy

Loved it and am reading the last book now. Couldn't stop listening and reading captivating.

A fascinating story!

This is much like the love story of Bella and Edward! But even richer!. The folklore provides a fascinating basis for the evolving love sorry

Fantastic

Loved to get lost in this fantastic story. I can't wait until the next installment. See you next winter!

Better than the 1st Novel
