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

Did not finish book. Stopped at 25%.

This was not really picking up for me and I particularly wasn't enjoying

how frequently I had to read about Pyotr raping Anna.

I'm going to try one of Arden's other books later.

Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Death, Rape, Sexism, Sexual assault, and Death of parent

The main character's father marries a teenage girl and repeatedly "goes to her bed" (aka, rapes her) for, and I quote, "marital duty." The last instance I read before DNFing describes her as literally weeping and he doesn't appear to have a reaction to it at all.
