The Girl in the Tower - Katherine Arden

Well the first part feels a bit slow, but then things quickly pick up speed. 

 

In the second book we follow Vasilisa, her sister (for a bit) and her brother Sasha. It appears raiders are ruining towns and stealing young girls to sell. There is some grossness said by a character saying at least these girls could have better lives then being forced to stay warm with very little food. I went, oh, so being sold and raped is better? Bah to that jerk of a character. 

 

I have to say that I am feeling more and more sorry for the snow demon known as, Morozko. I get why Vasilisa wants to be free to travel, but after all of the issues she ran into, one wonders why she doesn't try to settle somewhere. I can't see her going on like this forever with Morozko stepping in to save her from herself. This book has me feeling cold though. I was freezing the entire time on the train this morning. It's like the words seeped into my bones.
