When I read "The Bear and the Nightingale" I was supremely satisfied and didn't think I would be interested in a sequel, seeing as how I was happy with how the story ended. Well, was I ever wrong. This preview of the book draws me back into this beautiful world with Arden's descriptive and alluring writing, and reminds me of why I liked Vasya so much to begin with. Definitely adding this book as a future read.
