erica5ue 's review for:
The Bear and the Nightingale
by Katherine Arden
Spoilers because I never remember the endings. I write recaps for myself.
I listen to audiobooks almost exclusively and this was hard to listen to. The Russian names took a bit to get used to but then near the end animals were thrown in the mix and I got very confused. The final battle was hard to understand and i think some villains had multiple names or there were multiple villains.
Vasilisa's mother does in child birth. Step mother is crazy because she sees demons. Vasilisa can also see these "demons" but realizes they are just house and nature spirits. She befriends all of them. Step mother brings in new priest who wants to rid village of demons. Disavowing old ways the villagers stop giving offerings to spirits. This causes the big bad bear to gain power and ..... Start big battle but vasilisa wins.
