The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

For probably obvious reasons, this strongly reminded me of Spinning Silver. I loved the feel of a story told by the fire on a long, cold winter's night, as well as the glimpse into the conflict between traditional Russian folklore and the Eastern Orthodox Church and a period of Russian history rarely addressed. Plus Morozko, like the Unseelie of the Dresden Files, scratches that "power unfathomable by mortals that sometimes looks a lot like evil" itch. Will definitely be continuing.
