I really liked the use of the Woods as this looming figure and character - it felt very 'classic old fairytale' which I enjoyed. I like Agnieszka and Kasia's friendship a lot, both were solid characters. I liked the romance in this less, mainly because it felt a little out of nowhere and I wasn't convinced of it. It could have been removed entirely and barely changed the story. I prefer their relationship as begrudging and eventually caring mentor/mentee.
