Read-A-Long of "The Winter of the Witch" by Katherine Arden

[Gravy]

I was so exhausted, I though a 1 was an 8!

So correction, I am on chapter 21. (Still not bad for a night's reading )

[gali]

Still impressive!

I am on chapter 19 and enjoy it! The idea of Midnight lands is cool!

I like the mushroom spirit!

The more I read, the more I admire Vasya!

[Gravy]

I love him! He's so cute!

The Midnight Lands are an awesome idea. I just can't get enough of this series, and it's killing me that this is the last book!
I literally have not been able to pick the book up today because I don't want to finish it yet.

[gali]

I am on chapter 25 now. Where are you?

A lot happened! I am speechless!

[Gravy]

Exactly the same place!


I hope to get some more read soon.

You said it. So. Much. Happened.
I have no clue what to expect.


I'm kind of wondering if we might get a separate series that focuses on Marya (it just feels like it may be being set up). That would be so awesome! I really don't want to leave this world behind.

I hope we will! Marya is great!

I've read a bit more. I am so reluctant to finish! But I can't wait to see what happens!

This new twist is...interesting.

Where are you? I finished the book and loved it!

I loved the cooperation between the witch, the frost demon, and the chaos spirit!

I will wait for you to finish it before commenting further.

I am rescuing Sasha.

I am so intrigued by her working with The Bear!

Indeed! It was a bold move to work with him.

[Gravy]

I finished. Just...wow.

I didn't expect any of what happened. I am so happy about Solovey! And the brothers working together!
I could note a few things I wish had been different, but it would be nitpicking. It ended exactly how it needed to.


I just hope, hope, hope we get further stories in the world. The world is too rich not to go back!

Also, I fully expect to be rereading the whole thing at some point. It's such an epic story!


Were you surprised about Solovey?
I wasn't really surprised, but I nearly cried, I was just so happy!

I agree!

I was very happy about Solovey as well! I suspected his return, but I wasn't sure about the way.

I liked the ending and also hope we get more stories in this world.

It was a great book and a fit conclusion to a great series!

He was very cross with her. Nothing she did without him was done right. She should have realized this.
Solovey may be my favorite thing about the whole trilogy.

I definitely want to reread them at some point. I just know it will be even better the second time.

Indeed!

As much as I loved the series, I don't think I will read it again. I have too many other books waiting for me.

This might be the perfect book for me, especially as a finale. I noted down so many quotes, which I rarely do. It was the ideal culmination of numerous threads, exemplifying how finales should be done. It encompasses loss, learning, triumph, joy, and tragedy—all in one book. Such a fulfilling conclusion. It's one of my favorite books of the year.
