A review by katiemoten
Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden

5.0

My favourite fantasy series. It's about a girl who doesn't fit in finding her place in the world and the pagan spirits she loves fighting to exist. It's about tolerance and compromise. It's about love of family and country. It's about sacrifice and determination. It's about figuring out what's right and doing it no matter what it costs you personally. It's about acknowledging your flaws and learning from your mistakes. It's evocative and lyrical, featuring complex, contradictory characters, all of whom are allowed to love and fear and be angry and joyful all at once. It's a beautiful story, satisfying without being overlong. It's sweeping and romantic, epic and atmospheric, bittersweet and hopeful. I love everything about it.
