I read the first book of this series as a free book back in January 2018. I loved it and then right away read the second (which I didn't love as much, but which was still good) before realizing the third in the trilogy hadn't been written yet....

So, I've been waiting a year for this book to come out.

This book is a very satisfying conclusion to what I think is a stellar trilogy. What's more impressive is that I think this book is my favorite in the series. It's hard to write a final book that wraps every loose end up in a way that doesn't feel rushed, but Katherine Arden did it well.

I also have to say that I love the way Katherine Arden writes villains. My favorite characters weren't the brave and indomitable Vasya or the tender yet remote Winter King, though I liked them very much.

A brilliant ending. Because I've read a lot more books than usual these last couple of years, I've been noticing a lot of 'close but not quite' endings for series, but this book doesn't fall into that category.
I love that so much of this book is worked around real historical Russian events, so much joy, especially that the Russians chose to embrace both religions for a while longer yet. By the old gods and the new <3
Also, the mushroom spirit y'all!
