A review by karenluvstoread
Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden

5.0

This series whisked me away to magic, cold winters, Russian folklore and a horse and mushroom that both talk (which happened to be some of my favorite characters). Each book was beautifully done with amazing writing, well developed characters, and a brilliant mixture of fantasy, Russian folklore, and history. 

So many themes run throughout this series from self-discovery and belonging to sacrifice, loyalty, family relationships, love, and more. This sweeping story, spread over three books, is atmospheric, evocative, and spectacular. 

This series will be amongst my favorite reads of this year. If you are looking for a fantastical read that will whisk you away to another world and keep you turning the pages, give this series a try!
