The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden
5.0
Wow.
The only thing I regret is that I didn’t discover the Winter Night trilogy when the last book had already been released, because WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO IN THE MEANTIME?!

And it is non stop.
If you enjoyed the first book but thought the pacing was a bit off, you’ll have no trouble getting through the sequel. It was one of those reads where I would pick it up thinking I’d read for 15 minutes or so, and then 100+ pages later, I realize I needed to go to bed!
Vasya goes through even more growth in this story. This is a feminist fairytale at its core. Arden does a wonderful job at keeping fantastical elements rooted in a mid century Russia, as well as exploiting the oppression of women during this time in history.
AND I AM ALL FOR THE MAYBE LOVE STORY!
GIVE ME MORE!!
