The Winter of the Witch by Katherine Arden
5.0
It is no easy feat to integrate magic and mythology into a complex and rich historical backdrop while still keeping the plot engaging, dynamic, and exciting. Katherine Arden's Winternight Trilogy is above all else the story of a young girl finding her place in a world that is fighting to exclude her, and the journey she undertakes in order to create a new and more unified one.
Vasya is an outsider who is still relatable and sympathetic, and her struggles and victories are real and are never contrived or forced. While there is romance, it serves to further the character arcs of the important players and never distracts or takes away from the relevance of the plot.
If you love mythology, history, and anything Russian, then this series is for you.
