. 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. Beware the evil in the woods. As the village's defenses weaken and evil from the forest creeps nearer, Vasilisa must call upon dangerous gifts she has long concealed--to protect her family from a threat sprung to life from her nurse's most frightening tales. But Vasya's stepmother only grows harsher, determined to remake the village to her liking and to groom her rebellious stepdaughter for marriage or a convent.

Though it would seem like they would have some important role in the tale at some point later, they never reappeared. Throughout the book, the characters who interact with her realize that she has something, a certain I don't know what, that attracts everyone's eyes. She always loved hearing about the frost demon with cold blue eyes who appears at night.

People who love character driven plots will definitely love this book. “Before the end, you will pluck snowdrops at midwinter, die by your own choosing, and weep for a nightingale. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖• 18 03 2020 • ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖Title: The Bear and the NightingaleAuthor: @arden_katherinePublisher: @delreybooksIn 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, an elderly servant tells stories of sorcery, folklore and the Winter King to the children of the family, tales of old magic frowned upon by the church.

Winter fairytale (Russian style 😂) - definitely a slow burn book but a very entertaining read, I kind of wanted more between certain characters but I’m hoping to get it in the next book. His offer is not what it may seem, of course, and so Vasya finds herself in opposition to the waking demon. As the story goes further it became a badass feminist dream novel. At its simplest, we have a rebellious daughter with hidden talents who must align herself with mythological, dubious intentioned entities else lose the lives of her family, her people, and quite possibly her very way of life.

He has a great talent for words, he can persuade practically anyone and he uses this talent to harass the villagers and push them to worship and fear God. Except that, unlike Vasya, Anna is terrified of it and takes refuge in prayer.

” Still, it is a beautiful depiction of a deep winter world where families huddle together around their oven to sleep and stay warm and where the coming snow cuts off entirely the rural community Vasya calls home from the rest of the world.
