I have long been looking for something to fill the "Winternight"-shaped hole in my heart, and of course only Katherine Arden herself could fill it. She has once again managed to weave history with fantasy, and such writing a folktale that transported me to magical forests and into the heart of strong women. Anne of Brittany is the best FMC since Vasya, as she is strong, tough, hard-headed and laughing in the face of patriarchy by finding her own path through rough patches and magic. Her journey to save Brittany from French annexation, using both political cunning and the magic of the legendary forest of Brocéliande, was utterly compelling. The way she outmaneuvered courts and diviners alike, all while navigating a world where myth and history blur, left me breathless. The characters were all extremely well done and intriguing. From Louis of Orléans with his unwavering devotion to Anne’s sister Isabeau and half-brother Henri to mysterious Elesbed and her cat Butter, I enjoyed all of them. This was a story of power, sacrifice and love Katherine Arden has done it again! Creating a world so vivid, a heroine so inspiring, that I never wanted to leave. 4.5/5 stars.
