β€’ Such BEAUTIFULLY GORGEOUS writing πŸ–€
β€’ It felt like being transported into a fairy tale full of mythical creatures and magic. It was fantastical yet comforting at the same time.
β€’ The plot quickly sucked me in, and Vasya kept me hooked. She's definitely a fun character to read about!
β€’ I had to immediately start the next book in the series. I can easily see this becoming a comfort series, especially in the winter time!
β€’ The only reason it's not 5 stars is because there was just something missing that prevented me from loving it that much. I'm not sure what, though
