This is the second book in the Winternight Trilogy. I absolutely LOVED The Bear and the Nightingale. This book definitely felt like a go between the first and third books. It felt slightly rushed to me. You really should read the first book before reading this one, it’s not the kind that stands on its own. This is not a genre I would normally ever pick up. It’s fantasy and spirituality and religion and historical fiction. Arden uses the most amazing words and terms and names. She has researched old world Russia and it feels like I am being told this story by somebody who lived during this time. Fairytales, ghosts, and cautionary tales. It’s all amazing. I can’t wait for the Winter Witch that comes out in January.
I recommend this book!
