This book was rich, enrapturing, and believable, and I most appreciated that it didn't follow a typical narrative arc - it's much more about the fallout from what could have been the "big battle" in another book. The systems of magic were intricate without being unnecessarily complicated, as were Novik's description of the woods. I wasn't into the core romance, because 1) I hastily read the synopsis and was expecting a literal dragon, and 2) exploring a relationship with Agnieszka and her best friend Kasia would have been much more interesting.
