pagesofhelen 's review for:
The Bear and the Nightingale
by Katherine Arden
“All my life,” she said, “I have been told ‘go’ and ‘come.’ I am told how I will live, and I am told how I must die. I must be a man’s servant and a mare for his pleasure, or I must hide myself behind walls and surrender my flesh to a cold, silent god. I would walk into the jaws of hell itself, if it were a path of my own choosing. I would rather die tomorrow in the forest than live a hundred years of the life appointed me.”
I liked this book. Quite a bit, actually.
The prose was beautiful, the characters interesting, the world well-crafted. I enjoyed all the legends woven into it, but something was missing for me. The ending was a bit rushed and I think that was what ultimately added to this being a 3-star read for me instead of a 4-star one.
