Status Updates From The Bear and the Nightingal...

Okay yes yes yes, it was a slow start, but now I am so hooked onto this book and its writing. Honestly one of the best feelings in the world.

Would like more background on Anna & Dunya. I feel like there is more to those characters than what is on the page. Would’ve also liked more background on Vasya’s real mother too because I feel like her powers come from her mom, but why don’t the other siblings have it either.

I am devouring this and am really anticipating to see how the story would all come together, especially with the introduction of the mysterious “stranger” and father Konstantin.

I also love the siblings’ relationship - particularly that of the MC and her older brother.

Anna is definitely the “evil stepmother” here.

fINALLY the plot is actually plotting! I swear it felt like more had happened in the last chapter than in the 10 chapters right before that.

...Hopefully it picks up from here, now.

Noooo I only know Anna for a single chapter, but I feel so bad for her D:

Why do I have this feeling that Sasha will 1) be a very important character for the story, and 2) land up being my favourite?

Also am betting the man with the mare that Vasilisa met in the woods is the frost demon guy.

Satisfying but anti-climatic. However, I take whatever that is available to my heart content.
