Series: Winternight Trilogy #1 Alright, so it's not that I disliked this book. It's just that I found it to be pretty average. It's basically a mediaeval fantasy based in Russia, so some of the folklore is a bit different (and neat, I'll grant you), but it boils down to tensions between the tradit...
This was really good! With a broken-down bus, scarecrows, ghosts and a mysterious book, I thought this book had an excellent storyline connecting the present with the past. Since the synopsis is long and detailed, I won’t go into the whole story. I found myself flipping pages as Ollie begins readi...
Every once and awhile I need to read a middle grade novel that doesn't bother the fussy, persnickety man I've become. It often seems when I'm reading books meant for kids that I'm being too particular, that not all books can be 'Harriet the Spy' or 'Stepping on the Cracks', deceptively simple storie...
The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden is the second book in the Winternight Trilogy. Vasya finds herself in a situation where she is disguising herself as a boy. She earns the admiration of the Grand Prince of Moscow, so she must keep her secret at all costs.This story starts where The Bear and t...
..........SPOILERS..........The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden is the first book in the Winternight Trilogy. This story is based on a Russian fairy tale called Father Frost. This version of the tale is about a frost king who is after a girl named Vasilisa.Plot 5/5: I have never heard an...
I don’t have much to say about this book. The story is slow and boring for ¾ of it, and I struggled to get through it. I thought part of that might’ve been due to insomnia making my brain sluggish, but no, it was still boring after a decent night’s sleep. The only difference sleep made was that I wa...
[I received a copy of this book through Netgalley.]This is the direct sequel to “The Bear and the Nightingale”, and resumes where the latter left off, following both Sasha and Vasya from that point onwards.I’m a little torn about this book. While still calling upon Russian folklore and legends, thes...
4.5 stars...The only reason I didn't give it the full 5 stars is because I don't think we as the readers are given a complete enough background on the the Russian fairy tales, their characters, and the second sight (we're told they see demons), so I felt like I was trying to piece things together mo...
I loved this second book! I thought it was better then the first. I read the dictionary after book one and had a much clearer understanding of the fairytale characters. I enjoyed the storyline and the part Vasya played in this book a little more too. I'm looking forward to reading book three to see ...
I tore into this book right after the first, and it delivered. A+, extremely solid character development of Vasya and her family. LOVE seeing that her siblings are all very good at what they do -- warrior politics monk or mother and princess holding her family's reputation and fortunes together care...
