journey culminates in an emotionally resonant finale.”—Publishers
Weekly (starred review)
“Katherine Arden’s Winternight Trilogy isn’t just good—it’s
hug-to-your-chest, straight-to-the-favorites-shelf,
reread-immediately good, and each book just
gets better. The Winter of the Witch plunges us back
to fourteenth-century Moscow, where old gods and new vie for the
soul of Russia and fate rests on a witch girl’s slender shoulders.
Prepare to have your heart ripped out, loaned back to you full of
snow and magic, and ripped out some more.”—Laini Taylor
“Luxuriously detailed yet briskly suspenseful . . . a striking
literary fantasy informed by Arden’s deep knowledge.”—Kirkus
Reviews (starred review)
“Visceral descriptions of battle, an atmospheric sense of place,
and some truly heartbreaking moments of loss make this a
gut-wrenching read, but there’s ample hope and satisfaction to be
found as Vasya chooses her own unique path to
triumph.”—Booklist
“Exciting, moving, and beautifully written, this is a story readers
will savor.”—Library Reads
