FANDOM NAME: The Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: I love interpretations of fairy tales, but it's been decades since I haven't known the general shape of a story based on the kind of fairy tale story it's telling. I know nothing about Russian folklore, so the story that begins in The Bear & The Nightingale is a complete mystery to me and wonderful to watch unfold.
Vasya Petrovna is blessed with the ability to see the spirits and caretakers of her house, her village and the local wildlife. However, it's the 14th century and Christianity is making a solid push into her village in the far north of Rus', and there are those who believe her gift might actually be a curse.
Oh by the way, the god of winter and/or death has taken a special interest in her.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): Where ever books are sold! Or the library! Two of the three books are out now, with the third coming in January 2019
