A review by bookwormyami
The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden
5.0
4.5 out of 5 stars.
I have seen so many praise for this book and now I understand why.
I really loved this book! I have to admit that at first it was hard for me to get into the book because the names of the characters were throwing me off. I was getting confused of trying to keep up with who the names belong to, but once I got over that, this book started to suck me in.
The characters and the world were beautifully written. I could picture Guillermo del Toro bringing this book to life.
I loved that Vasilisa has a mind of her own. No matter what people thought about her, she was still true to herself.
I was so mad with Anna (Vasilisa's step-mom) for the way she was treating her. I felt no pity for her when something happens to her (you gotta read the book to find out what I'm talking about.) I also did not like the Priest because he was one of the person behind people calling Vasilisa a witch, among other reasons.
I could go on and on about the book but I don't want to give anything important away, lol.
I definitely recommend this book to people who likes fantasy, YA, and fairytales with a little darkness to it.
