The Winter of the Witch by Katherine ArdenMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I thoroughly enjoyed this conclusion to the Winternight Trilogy. In this last book, Vasya must do her best to save her people, her country, and the ancient inhabitants of her land. She has to find a way to do this seemingly on her own, as Morozko is lost to her and many of the people who were once her friends and allies are now distrusting of her. Vasya not only travels through Russia but also through time and through a land of myth and legend in order to find a way to heal her land and find a way to reconcile the old ways with the new.
This was a great ending to Vasya's story, and I was sad to see it end. As in each installment, the weaving of realistic elements (the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes) with the mythical elements created a fantastic blend and engrossing aspect to Vasya's journey.
The history, folklore, characterizations, setting, and overall great writing really came together to create a wonderful series that I would highly recommend. I think anyone who enjoys reading historical books, YA, fantasy, or folklore would enjoy this series.
