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

4.0

I have to admit I found the first part, just before hitting page 100, hard to get into. There was something, maybe the slow pace, that prevented me from falling in love with this book. But then the atmosphere, the language, the world-building won me over. It's a fantastic debut, as everyone who follows fantasy literature knows already, in which is easy to turn page after page without even realizing it.
