Hey Everyone,
I am going to review the book "The Bear and the Nightingale: A Novel," by Katherine Arden. This book was published by Random House Publishing Group: Ballantine. This book is hot off the press as it is published today January 10, 2017. To read an excerpt from this book CLICK HERE. For those of you who would like to purchase a copy of this book CLICK HERE. This book is a Russian Fairy Tale. I honestly do not want to tell you much about this book, because it is one of those books that is best to know as little as possible. It is old school, classic fairy tale. This book is similar to "Uprooted," by Naomi Novik.
Overall I rated this book four stars out of five. This book was so beautifully and magically told (no pun intended). This book has all the elements in it to make a perfect telling of a fairy tale. It has demons, magic, spirits, talking animals and best of all was the "Frost Demon." This book is best read in the Winter during a cold day wrapped up in blankets, sitting on your favorite chair in front of a fire. This book made Winter come alive. It played upon your imagination. This book is what I have been missing for a long time, and I am so thankful that the author made this story come to life. You just have to read it plain and simple. I do not want to sit here and dwell on this book because you will enjoy it so much more if I don't.
I want to thank Netgalley, Katherine Arden, and Random House Publishing Group: Ballantine for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
Until the next page,
Jill
