The Girl in the Tower

by Katherine Arden

Wow what an excellent second book!! The world building is so vivid and atmospheric, as we continue this adventure steeped in Russian Folklore. I loved getting back into this world and found the pacing to be even better than book 1! I was on the edge of my seat, equal measures reading as quickly as I could to see what happened next and wanting to slow down to savor the story.

As someone relatively new to fantasy, I cannot recommend this series enough!! I read this as a buddy read and had the best time. Can’t wait for book 3 (even though I also don’t want to leave this world)!
