A review by annarosereads
The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

5.0

This was a magical read. The last few days have been below zero here in Chicago. As I huddled close to my fireplace with my knitting I felt like one of the children at the start of the book being told a story. The vivid descriptions transported me to the Russian winter. The world was richly detailed. I am not really familiar with Russian folklore and found the descriptions of the various spirits fascinating.
