    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!!! ❄️
