The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

adventurous dark mysterious slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

A wonderful foray into Russian folklore and the reason why we hold on to customs and superstition even in the face of religion. The ending felt a bit rushed but I truly enjoyed this story.
