A gorgeously re-imagined medieval Russia is the setting of this rich fantasy novel, in which "demons" are just funny little creatures that live in the stove in order to protect the home, and fairy tales are full of life and not just part of people's imaginations. Katherine Arden's writing is SUPERB. All of the characters are fully fleshed out- even the villainous step mother has her own voice, and one that would be hard not to sympathize with. All-in-all one of the best books I have read this year!
