Another gorgeous read from Ms. Arden! While the first book was this lyrical Russian fairytale, this was a gritty adventure but in that beautiful lilt that Arden has mastered. It’s so pretty and well paced that it’s impossible to put down. I just can’t get enough of this trilogy and I can’t believe I only have one book left to go. Even if you’re not into fairytales or the medieval Russian setting I would give this one a read, I promise you won’t be disappointed. And now I know what a patronymic is!!
