The Bear and the Nightingale: A Novel (Winternight… por Katherine Arden
A good enough read, though not one I'm going to go out of my way to recommend. I liked the old Russian feel which was a new exposure for me. And I enjoyed the characterization. But I wasn't gripped by the stronger high fantasy elements and the plotting they drove, which became more important as the book progressed.
It started well, but after around 100 pages I just lost interest in plot.
Wie man an meinem Nickname erkennen kann, bin ich ein großer Fan des russischen Märchens von Wassilissa und der Baba Jaga. Dieses hier ist eine sehr schöne davon inspirierte Erzählung und lässt sich wunderbar lesen. Ich liebe solche Geschichten mit märchenhafter Anmutung, einer starken weiblichen Hauptfigur und genügend Spannung. Es ist ein wirklich schönes Buch, bei dem ich mich auf die anderen beiden Bände freue.
Delightful!
When is a fish more than a fish? In October!
Fantastic!
The illustrations by Zahra Marwan are whimsical, fluid in style, imaginative, colorful, and fun.
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to everyone, but especially to a school, hospital, or your local public library!
