For years, people constantly recommended The Winternight Trilogy as one of the most appropriate books to read during the winter season, and I can definitely understand why now. The Bear and the Nightingale is Katherine Arden’s debut novel, and it’s also the first installment in The Winternight Trilogy. “You must allow things to be what best suits your purpose. “You are too attached to things as they are,” said Morozko, combing the mare’s withers. I wanted to read a fantasy book that will make me feel this experience, and with the combination of cold air conditioners, I got what I wanted from reading The Bear and the Nightingale.

As someone who lived in a tropical country all his life, winter, snow, or cold seasons are pretty close to being fantasy weather for me. Actually, on that note, if you love Spinning Silver, I think you should give this novel a try as well there are a lot of similarities between the two books, though I liked Spinning Silver more.

Similar to Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik, one of the reasons I wanted to read The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden is because I want to imagine how it feels to live in the wintery season. The Bear and the Nightingale is an atmospheric read with a likable main character.
