Continuation of Vasilissa's story. She gets involved with the lords of Moscow and, of course, it ends badly - now, it's the whole Moscow accusing her of witchcraft.
I don't get it. As if... well... no worse spoilers than I already have given.
I think she's selfish. I don't agree with or approve her choices. Doesn't much matter, does it?
There is some “let's make this character react like this because it fits the plot”, and I don't like that.
When she said "You baptized my sister's child, so I let you live", I thought that the a-hole will appear also in the next book, because so far Vasya hasn't shown any interest in such things, and considering that she would have killed him to protect her family, she wouldn't have considered Olga's feelings, because how would Olga even have found out? As if a lot of people didn't die that day, one priest more or less.
But all in all I like this book, I like this story and I like Vasya. I like how she tries to keep the myth alive. Makes me want to leave a bowl of milk to the house guardians and other fairy folks. :-D
