The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden

5.0

WOW, wow, wow! if the first book struck me, this one did even more. katherine arden’s world is so alive with wonder and strife. vasya is such an incredibly compelling character, not entirely girl or boy, and strong. i feel so connected to her and morozko. this has ghibli-esque vibes when it comes to the chyerti and vasya’s ability to speak to horses, and yet subverts you from that wonder-filled world and throws you into adrenaline, fear, and sadness for these beloved characters. hats off!!! seriously!!!
