A really interesting take on a magical universe - clearly based in Russia, not Germany or England, which was refreshing. A fun environment and an interesting story, with some odd(?) bits of teacher/student romance, if you're into that sort of thing.

[4.5 stars] Such a page-turner, from beginning to end!

I've enjoyed myself immensely, and I've never hated and feared an enemy (The Wood) so badly.
This book is dark, dragging and worth it if you are a writer.

Okay I can't write a real review right now because of my strange painful index finger knuckle swelling shenanigans but ONE'S COMING FOR SURE (1/25/16)

ETA: even better the second go-round. What a triumph of a novel. Absolutely gorgeous and so joyful.

The beginning was so magical and intriguing and then it was just too fast paced and fell short. I feel like the romance was for nothing and really not much was resolved.
