The Bear and the Nightingale
Apr. 24th, 2024 08:12 amFinished The Bear and the Nightingale, book one of the Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Alden! Overall cool and atmospheric, with nice complex characters and worldbuilding.
( More detailed thoughts )
That was just the first book, which kind of felt like a really long prologue introducing the main character's whole childhood and growing up and how she learns of her own abilities/power and gets a super cool horse. It ends with her saying she plans to leave the town and explore the world, so I'm curious to see if the second/third book will be faster paced since now a ton of stuff has been setup and established. I think I'll read the second and third at some point, but it was somewhat heavy so I think I'll read some other books in between.
So next up on the list are some recs y'all on DreamWidth passed along. Ijust downloaded Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik, have not started it yet though. After that I may take a peek at Jane Eyre, though depending on how heavy Spinning Silver ends up being I might stuff a random fluffy romantic comedy in there to lighten things up.
