I LOVED this book. Loved. This is everything, in my opinion, that Deathless by Catherynne Valente wanted to be but fell short of. It is a vibrant, vibrant historical fantasy set in 14th century Northern Russia and it’s absolutely amazing. The characters have so much depth and so much emotion, and the setting is rich and beautiful. Vasya was an amazing protagonist, and the cast of supporting characters were absolutely excellent. I’ll be starting the second book in this trilogy asap.
