Wonderful fairy tale
While it took me a while to get into this story, it was absolutely fantastic.
I had some trouble keeping track of all the characters and their names, which made the story a little difficult to follow at first. As I read on though, the story straightened itself out and was so, so fascinating.
I love the winter-demon, and Vasya. I love their interactions and I'm dying to know more, to find out more of Vasya's secrets, as well as why she's so important to the winter king. She's such a headstrong character, determined not to be hedged into the classics rolls of a woman in old russia, and I just love those types of characters.
I definitely recommend this if you're looking for a fresh, new fairytale to spend a winter night with.
