And thus is concluded this beautiful mystical trilogy. Did I cry? Yes, I did. A LOT. Luckily, by the end, they were happy tears. I mean I cried when Solovey died. But when he got resurrected at the end? I had to stop reading for a while because I was bawling my eyes out.
This author is automatically on my auto-buy list because no one can write an atmosphere like she does. I am in awe of how well she gets the Russian spirit, mimicking to a tea all those old fairytales I have read as a kid, the cadence, the language, everything.
Loved that last bit in the end about the real-life events that inspired the books. Please, please read this in winter.
