![]() After her dramatic entrance, there’s a flashback to the beginning of her travels. It takes Vasya a few chapters to enter the story, but when she does, she’s dressed as a boy, having just rescued three young girls from bandits. The Girl in the Tower begins where The Bear and the Nightingale leaves off. ![]() I have a quote on this scene that would be at home in any Twilight book, but I won’t post it because this book eventually gets better-much better. For example, when Vasya is dying in a snowdrift, Morozko materializes to massage heat into her hands and body in that sexual/nonsexual way common to bad YA novels. Not because it was undeserved, but because once I started seeing Morozko as Edward Cullen, it was hard to see him as Morozko. I genuinely regret making a Twilight comparison in my review of The Bear and the Nightingale. ![]() Spoilers abound for Book 1, so read at your own risk, or start with The Bear and the Nightingale. ![]() The Girl in the Tower is the second book of the Winternight trilogy by Katherine Arden. ![]()
