The second book lacked some of the intensity that I think the author wanted to make the readers feel. Vasya makes some (many) rash decisions without really thinking about the consequences but we also get to see her interesting character development. One thing I really liked was the way Arden presented the complexities of each character. Overall, The plot was very entertaining and the ending is much more defined than it was in the first book.

Alcune cose strane sono successe durante la lettura di questo libro.
La prima è che sono rimasta abbastanza indifferente a ciò che succede e ai personaggi, al punto da faticare un po' per arrivare alla fine.
L'altra è che questo ultimo volume fa bene alcune cose che non sopporto molto e che quindi mi annoiano. C'è un gusto per l'onirico e l'atmosfera da sogno che non apprezzo mai particolarmente ma che qua è talmente portato all'estremo da annoiarmi.
Ci sono tanti pregi in questa trilogia, a partire dalla bellissima scrittura, purtroppo però questo finale (che rimane molto bello) non fa per me.

loved how this series wrapped up. i love the winter king, and how complex all of the characters are. i enjoy morally grey characters and self aware ones, and this book keeps on delivering at both ends.
this world will always encapsulate me, and i can't wait for my adhd brain to forget the details of this series so i can read it again.

Wow,,,, trying to find the words to describe this book is an impossible task. I have loved The Bear and the nightingale since day one, and The Winter of the Witch has made its way straight to my favorites. Now that I’ve finished I shall too take the road through Midnight
