there's nothing really wrong with it i'm just too old for a lot of YA at this point in my life and unfortunately this isn't one of the exceptions lol

A pesar de que me ha gustado mucho, creo que por el momento no voy a continuar con la saga porque me empecé a leer el segundo y no me gustó mucho.

Easily a 5 star read.
From the insanely gorgeous artwork, to the writing style, to the characters and plot themselves, this book had me enchanted from beginning to end. Do I know of or have I ever heard the story of the Goose Girl? No. Do I now love it solely because of this book? Absolutely.
I can’t wait to read the next book and get more of my morally dubious girly Vanja, and will definitely check out the author’s other duology!

I'm so glad I read this. I enjoyed the variation on the goose girl and the Russian references, plus the hefty doses of snark and humor and realistic reluctance teamwork turning into more... I loved this, I'm looking forward to having time for the next books and so glad there'll be a third.

Smart young main characters where it's actually shown they're smart and think things through (rather than "this teen is the smartest and best at everything and everyone can't help falling for her even when there's a wildly creepy age and experience gap of hundreds of years") has been rare in my admittedly limited experience of YA. This was refreshing. And I appreciated the low spice, throwing smut in wouldn't have fit the story/relationship development at all.
