The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden
2.0
Rating: 2.5 Stars
I really liked the idea of the setting, with all the slavic traditions and myths and the winter vibes overall.
However I can safely say that nothing happens in the entire book.
I kept reading and kept feeling like everything is still at the same place. To be honest if the book was longer I would have stopped reading. On top of that all the mythical creatures are new and the author doesn't really portray the characters in details. I had to google all of them to get a sense of the size and look and know what was being portrayed. The final battle was a huge disappointment finally when some action was about to take place, the author fell short and same as the whole novel, nothing really happens.
I can feel like there is more to come in the next novels, I am a fan of the main character Vasya but I have no idea if I will be picking up the rest of the series.
