Firstly, I'd like to say that I hope my rating or review wouldn't turn anyone away from reading this book. I feel like it is a beautiful story but I just didn't grasp it enough.

I liked Vassa. I loved her wit! And her connection with Erg. And the deep meaning behind their connection and Erg's origins.

This truly is a dark, magical story but unfortunately for me, I only understood little bits of it and the majority just had me confused.
