ugh

Revisado: 01-28-22

some of the plot bones are still good but the authors obsession with western 50s patriarchal / cishet norms and his blatant sexism feel so overpowering in this book. every other line (no really) is a character decrying that the opposite sex will never be understood etc and it's clearly supposed to be funny/cutesy/flirty instead of the gagworthy and offensive. and my god the obsession with women's modesty and spanking women's bottoms and women being jealous over men. it's repulsive and also just totally incredulous, makes characters into 1D idiots.

Didn't feel like a full novel

Revisado: 02-13-19

As the series progresses it feels like there's less content in each book. Still will scratch the itch if you want to keep following this campy but badly written saga because of your difficult to explain investment in the main character and desparate hope for sexy romance that will probably never happen ...

Great overall conclusion to the series

Revisado: 02-03-19

Great overall conclusion to the series, I really couldn't put it down, but *MILD SPOILER* ...

I found the very end so disappointingly anti-climactic and hard to believe, after such emotional build up then quite a light conclusion. There was also still a sprinkling of moments throughout where the writing or contrivances quite distracted me and made me laugh or just try to forget the stupidity because I liked the story overall so much that I didn't want any reasons not to.

Very entertaining, better than book 1

Revisado: 02-02-19

Couldn't put it down, very entertaining and an improvement on the first book. Enjoyed the twists and turns. Still some too-cheesy moments or lazy moments of characters moving plot through unbelievable dialogue but solid fun and suspense on the whole.

Solid YA fantasy

Revisado: 01-31-19

Relatively straightforward plot, very YA, fun, compelling at times. Really enjoyed some of the world building but felt it needed more to really help me get a feel. Pace as a whole felt rushed, would have appreciated lingering on some moments, breathing a bit, getting more nuance.

Loved it loved it loved it

Revisado: 01-28-19

A captivating, beautiful, emotionally satisfying conclusion to Vasya's incredible adventures. If you enjoyed the first two books it is illegal not to read the third and final chapter.

A compelling, modern Russian fairytale

Revisado: 01-24-19

Loved it, couldn't stop, so well written, so evocative of a specific time and place, rich characters you want to love even if they frustrate you. If you're interested in Russian folklore and love a good story definitely start with the first book in the trilogy and be sure to get to the sequel!

Solid fantasy, got better as the book progressed

Revisado: 01-07-19

Compelling main character. Decent job keeping a fun, exciting tone while still exploring serious, traumatic personal and social issues. Interesting fantasy element but often a bit hard to suspend disbelief with how it was written.

man fantasizes about his AI lover w/ boobs, again

Revisado: 12-29-18

Slow without really going anywhere, male gaze (despite so many superficial cover-ups), horrible elevator background music throughout.

Great follow up to the first

Revisado: 10-20-18

If you liked the first you should also like this one, maybe more, scratches the itch it's intended to scratch.
