Good book, but too long
This is one of the most entertaining fantasy stories I've read recently. Set in an alternate Russia (I think in the Middle Ages) where people can use magic and enchanted creatures live in the forests, streams, and people's houses, it's the second in a series and focuses on the continuing adventures of Anya (the only daughter of the only Jewish family in her small town), her friend Ivan (who comes from a family of professional fools, kind of like old-time comedians), and their water-dragon friend Hakon. A knight had promised to help get Anya's father home from where he'd been wrongfully conscripted into the army, but he still hasn't returned after almost a year, and the three go off to rescue him. Along the way, they meet a warrior princess, an elf who wields sound magic, and a charming young archer who's the son of a rabbi. Will Anya ever develop magic of her own? Will she save her father and figure out what the tsar is up to? Read this humorous, charming book and find out!
Spoiler alert! Anya tries to find her father and bring him home but instead she meets a elf known as the nightingale who's brother has been trapped by the tzar merely for existing! Can Anya help free them? Read the book to find out.
