I really really really liked it! I would have to give it a 4/5. I would have given it a 5, but somethings seemed to drag along. Or there were somethings that I feel like could have been completely left out of the story. Like the whole thing with her dad? It didn't make any sense at all. I don't see why it was part of the story... I personally felt like it was more distracting than helpful. The stuff about her mother was a little different because it eventually made more of a connection to the book. It did take a while to pick up, and it had it's moments of dullness, but still it was worth it! I will admit I did cry.. And I won't tell you why, but I did.

I really liked that Erg, Vassa's wooden doll, is involved a lot! I like that she's alive all the time not just wen Vassa needs help. The book is full of magic and I like how it's slowly unraveled how somethings work. Like Erg, or what's happening at BYs and how they're able to get away with beheading anyone in the modern day.... I also like how later on in the book there seemed to be subtle hints here and there. I can't give away too much, but just pay attention to certain things...
