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

adventurous dark mysterious sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Loveable characters? Yes

4.5

This, along with North Child, are my perfect winter fairy tales <3
I do think the ending

(the way the Bear was bound again)

was a bit...unoriginal, cliché? It doesn't bother me too much though.

The feel and atmosphere of this book was immaculate!And the characters were lovable (mostly) and layered.
