ebecks3 's review for:

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

4.0

---

This was a cool book. I know very little about Russian folklore. I know in The Huntress they discuss the ruselkas but this was so much more! It’s was such a great blend of historical fiction and fantasy. At times I had to remind myself the mystical was happening because Arden did such a great job of weaving into the story line. This is mot my typical read, but I am so glad I got it, read it and that there are 2 more!!
