I love a good fantasy story mixed with history and a strong female lead. I can always do without zombies and vampires but she used the folk tales well and it was not the main theme so I can deal with it.

I would have been sad when this book was over if I didn't already have the other 2 waiting. This book ruled.

4,5 Mi tengo le 5 stelline per i prossimi che sono sicura miglioreranno. È un fantasy molto particolare, più che fantasy è folclore che prende vita e ho apprezzato molto. Pensavo di trovarmi dinanzi ad una storia lenta e noiosa invece mi sono ricreduta. Ho amato la protagonista il suo coraggio e la sua forza, mi sono piaciuti i suoi fratelli, Anna purtroppo non mi è andata giù ma amen, e il personaggio di Kostantin nel suo essere contorto è stato molto interessante. Inoltre spero di approfondire Morosko che mi ha intrigato un bel po'. La storia è di fatto lenta non accadono grandi cose se non verso la fine ma ti mantiene incollata alle pagine grazie ad uno stile di scrittura poetico scenico e magico! Sembra una favola e fra tutti i fantasy che girano questo si distingue in positivo dalla massa!
