vasilissa commented on vasilissa's review of A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Monk & Robot, #1)
this book was so warm and wholesome it actually made me want to cry it was such feel-good, short wonderful read i am literally left speechless the writing, the chatacters, this world, everything was top notch if you haven't read it, do it right now, please.... (i will never shut up about this book from now on)
vasilissa commented on vasilissa's review of The Bear and the Nightingale (The Winternight Trilogy, #1)
first things first: this book has a wonderful atmosphere, with likeable fmc, i could feel the snow and the cold of that wilderness and the magic of russian folklore
but! i felt like this book had a weird pace - the beginning dragged on for 250 pages and then the end was really quick and i could feel the imbalance, it was... weird.
additionally sometimes i felt like the author tried to make russian words and customs more "wild" and "exotic" (she even admitted that in the acknowledgements) which was... a choice? it felt like that weird fascination with "orientalism" from a colonial point of view, and maybe I'm reading to much into this, but... i don't know. I'll look out for it in the second book.
i will read the sequel, because I'm pretty interested in this story, and I'll see whether things that bother me will change. but it's a really perfect book for winter!!! ❄️
