Three words to describe this book:
Magic. Power. Gamble.
Yeah, cool. Nicely written, nice characters, nice plot. All very nice, nothing mind-blowing.

(apparently I forgot to update it here so you get two reviews in one day!)
Ohhh, this was so good!!
The atmosphere, the blending of actual history with fantasy, the story, the characters!
I loved Vika and Nikolai so much, what a pair. This is basically "the night circus magic duel but in historical fantasy russia and ya" and I LOVE THAT!!
Anyway, I loved it and now I need to read the 2nd book because omg that ending!!!!
