Re: What are you reading?
The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden. A Russian fairy tale set in around the year 1100. Russia officially has become Christian but the old pagan spirits still exist. A young girl, daughter of an exiled noblewoman who died giving birth to her, has inherited powers that allow her to contend with forces set against her family. Even has an evil stepmother, what more can you ask?
