This book was amazing a vast improvement from the slow moving first book I loved everything about it I liked that it read just like a fairy tale. I loved the characters so much I especially loved Vasya with her strong independent ways I loved how brave and determined she was. I loved the romance between her and Morokzo it was the kind of push and pull will they won't they romance I am really looking forward to where it goes from here. I really liked Vasya's brother and sister they added the extra depth to the story that just made it better. I loved the plot it picked up right where it left off going from hunting bandits to an plot to kill someone with so much pain and suffering spread throughout.
