The Grand Prince is in a rage, choosing allies that will lead him on a path to war and ruin. A wicked demon returns, stronger than ever and determined to spread chaos. Caught at the center of the conflict is Vasya, who finds the fate of two worlds resting on her shoulders. Her destiny uncertain, Vasya will uncover surprising truths about herself and her history as she desperately tries to save Russia, Morozko, and the magical world she treasures. But she may not be able to save them all.

Winter of the Witch, is the the third in the series. The plot follows the adventures of the protagonist Vasja, a witch who tries to save Moscow from the Bear and the plague. The story takes place in a magical world and includes magical creatures and a journey through Midnight.
What do I think
I liked the conclusion of the series, maybe it’s not really a book for me but despite this I liked the conclusion. The style is simple and although there are names from Russian folklore it is easy to learn their meaning.
I liked Vasja, her path is well structured and non-trivial. Just as I liked the meaning that the Midnight Lady wanted Vasja to learn.
I recommend it.
