I have done good and I have done evil, but I am neither. “ I have been running through the dark, trying to save all who have need of me. In The Winter of the Witch, Vasya grows into a woman, comes fully into her own powers, and takes the word “witch,” and OWNS it-all while shattering the traditional consequences women associated with the term “witch’ faced. She continually challenges the forces of her time period and its restrictive customs until she can finally squash them. A small town girl, Vasya ends up saving her entire country-a feat impressive enough on its own-but she does not stop there. She is the type of female character that audiences are lucky to get every decade or so-one who has power and is not afraid to wield it as she sees fit. Though this was probably my least favorite out of the trilogy that included The Bear and the Nightingaleand The Girl in the Tower-mostly because I’m not a huge fan of reading about battles or preparing for them-I still laughed, wept, and was extremely proud of heroine Vasilisa “Vasya” Petronova. Katherine Arden is true writing goals-planning where she meant her characters to go and getting them there in ways so suitable that I couldn’t even imagine them, and for weaving in humor and magic throughout her often darktales. On the rare occurrence when I was not entirely thrilled by something that happened in the book, it was still absolutely in character and true to the overall themes of the novel. I was not even sad that the Winternight Trilogy came to end, because The Winter of the Witch was perfectly true to the series and the characters that I came to love so much. In the stunning conclusion to the bestselling Winternight Trilogy, following The Bear and the Nightingale and The Girl in the Tower, Vasya returns to save Russia and the spirit realm, battling enemies both mortal and magic. The Winter of the Witch (Winternight Trilogy, #3) by Katherine Ardenīuy on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, The Book Depository Vasya's physical description is based off the painting The Swan Princess by Michail Alexandrowitsch Wrubel.This review contains spoilers.She is also described as being disturbingly graceful, and looking somewhat feral, like a wild thing new-caught and just barely groomed into submission. When she got older, her features were still too stark, and she was too slender, for a proper beauty, but she was very attractive, there was something about her that caught the eye and held it. She used to be a ugly children, her eyes and mouth too big for the rest of her, so her siblings would call her little frog. Her hair is black and very beatiful, and shines dark red when the light catches in it. Her features are stark, her mouth is wide, and her eyes big, expressive and green, set very apart from each other.
Vasya is tall and gaunt, like a wolfhound, she has long limbs and fingers and big feet.
