If you are a fan of Katherine Arden's The Winternight Trilogy, then you will also love The Wolf and the Woodsman. If you wanted a more developed relationship between Vasilisa and Morozko with a touch of spice and incredible angst, then you will absolutely devour this book like I have.
Eviké and Gáspár couldn't be more different, they are both steadfast in their convictions. And yet, they can't help but attempt to challenge each other's notions of the norm anyway. The banter was phenomenally written and if I could have underlined every single bit of their quips, I would've! Despite their differences, they are powerless against the growing feelings and attractions between them. And I completely ate it uppppp. If you enjoy the enemies to lovers trope, then look no further, this book does a superb job of surpassing your expectations!
This book is gorgeously written. There's really no words I can think of to properly describe how utterly perfect the writing style is. I can tell so much thought and care went into the prose! Sometimes I forget how enchanting fantasy novels can be, but I'm guaranteed to never forget so long as books like these keep finding their way into my hands. I can't wait to read more of Ava Reid's works in the future!
