    This is a story of two boys who are in love, but it is also a story of a group of friends trying to survive the war.

    Few books have touched me the way this has, and I have stopped counting the times I cried while reading this. I have loved every character, and felt every death, no matter how long I knew them. The journey is full of sorrow, and yet full of tenderness at the same time. I will say that the last page was absolutely gut-wrenching; and here I was thinking I had no more tears left to shed.

    It is not a perfect book by any means, it has flaws, but I simply did not care for them. I love this book deeply and will keep thinking of Gaunt and Ellwood, as well as their fallen friends, for a long time.

    I’m always amazed at how well-packed and full these feel, and how invested I get in under 300 pages. I’m just fascinated by the world-building, but I’m also very biased because I do love slavic folklore.

    I love Dymitr, Niko, and Ala so much. The story this time gets more personal, and the angle taken to tackle those familial themes was good. I personnaly liked this one more than the first one, but ultimately that’s just personal preference.

    I do hope we get a third book eventually, I just need more 🥺
