The Bear and The Nightingale

(Winternight Trilogy)

   (0 reviews)

Description

 Beware the evil in the woods... 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, 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. But for the young, wild Vasya these are far more than just stories. She alone can see the house spirits that guard her home, and sense the growing forces of dark magic in the woods. . . Atmospheric and enchanting, with an engrossing adventure at its core, The Bear and the Nightingale is perfect for readers of Naomi Novik's Uprooted, Erin Morgenstern's The Night Circus, and Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials.

I very rarely agree with those 'If you like...' comparisons dreamed up by book blurb writers but they're pretty spot on here. This is the start of a trilogy, each episode as good as the others. Highly recommended.

I haven't read 'Uprooted' but maybe I should because I also definitely agree with the other two! Also agree that the whole trilogy is brilliant.
