miduhadi 's review for:
The Bear and the Nightingale
by Katherine Arden
What I Liked
The story is told in an almost lyrical way that ensnared my interest in it right away. The descriptions of the Russian winter are lovely the way a tiger is beautiful. Majestic but can kill you with a swipe of her paw lol Reminded me of Valente's Deathless and Keturah and Lord Death
by Martine Leavitt. Both are books that I really liked.
The way the protagonist's family are with each other. They frustrate each other and fight but there's also a lot of love.
How the story ended. Usually, the other is always punished, especially if she's a woman. But I liked that this wasn't the case here.
What I Didn't Like
The Big Bad was built into this huge deal throughout the book. Turned out, it was quite easy to defeat him.
The story's been done before and the heroine WAS a snowflake, so there's that.
What I Don't Know
Whether the book needed a sequel?
