I picked this one up hoping for a wintery atmospheric tale and that is exactly what I got, alongside a slow build sweeping adventure and the start of an exciting trilogy. The Bear and the Nightingale is a well known adult fantasy novel that is the start of the Winternight Trilogy. But when mysterious forces threaten the happiness of their village, Vasya discovers that, armed only with the necklace, she may be the only one who can keep the darkness at bay Uncertain of its meaning, the father hides the gift away and his daughter, Vasya, grows up a wild, wilful girl, to the chagrin of her family. In a village at the edge of the wilderness of northern Russia, where the winds blow cold and the snow falls many months of the year, a stranger with piercing blue eyes presents a new father with a gift - a precious jewel on a delicate chain,intended for his young daughter.

I’ll be predominantly focusing this review on the first book in the trilogy, The Bear and the Nightingale. Today I’m going to be sharing a review of a series I picked up right at the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022 that became one of my favorites, The Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden.
