A really solid end to the series. I cried and I smiled wide and I felt like I was on a great journey. 

Yes the first book is still my favorite. I preferred the smaller, more intimate struggles and the hints of horror. But this book really brings all the themes full circle and doesn't pull punches. 

Ded Grib was such a needed reminder of how Vasya started out. Chefs kiss. 

My only real complaint is that it feels like it needed more denouement. It seemed like it cut off suddenly.
