5.0
Every day she learned something new about her magic, and every day she felt more like a stranger in her own body.
This. Book. Was. Amazing.
The world building, the storytelling, all of it. Absolutely stunning. Amy Kuivalainen does such a magnificent job weaving together various myths and folklore all the way from Russia to Greece and everywhere in between, while presenting an amazing cast of witty, unique, and heartfelt characters that have their own intriguing backstories.
Her power rode through as the aurora faded, and the power in the land, in the forest, in the rising sun-all the magic in the world-sang to her.
I loved Anya as the main character. She's fierce, witty, and holds her own despite all of the madness surrounding her as she finds out that she's not just a shamanitsa, but the fate of the human and supernatural world rests in her magical hands. She has the help of her friends of course, which give off major found family vibes (which I personally love).
The magic tells him that the war he's been waiting for is almost there. But he's not ready.
This book is undoubtedly a 5-star read for me. I can't wait to read the next 2 books in this series (hopefully they'll be released by the new publisher soon!), especially with the shocking cliffhanger that happened at the end (I still have not recovered from that btw).
