À propos de cet audio

 In the sequel to the nationally bestselling The Bear and the Nightingale, a gifted young woman with ties to the old magic of her homeland blazes a trail out of the frozen wilderness and into the court intrigues of Moscow.

“A masterfully told story of folklore, history, and magic with a spellbinding heroine at the heart of it all.”—Booklist (starred review)

Vasilisa’s gift for seeing what others do not won her the attention, even affection, of Morozko—the winter demon from her nurse’s stories. But his aid comes at a cost.

Orphaned, named a witch, and cast out by her village, Vasya’s options are few: resign herself to life in a convent or marriage to a stranger. Both doom her to life in a tower, cut off from the wide world she longs to explore. So instead she chooses adventure, disguising herself as a young man and riding her trusted stallion, Solovey, into the wilderness.

But Vasya’s exploits soon reunite her with her long-estranged siblings and earn her the admiration of the Grand Prince of Moscow. Disguised as a boy, she must walk a delicate line, safeguarding her family, concealing her identity and navigating her increasingly fraught relationship with Morozko—even as she realizes the realm is under threat from mysterious forces only she will be able to stop.

“A compelling, fast-moving story that grounds fantasy elements in a fascinating period of Russian history.”—Kirkus Reviews

Rich story and characters, I would rank Katherine Arden right up with author Guy Gavriel Kay

Wonderfully rich story

An absolutely beautiful story about family, courage, prejudice, and legacy. Beautifully written with fantastic characters, this is a series I wholeheartedly recommend to all lovers of fantasy and Russian folklore.

Vasya continues to be one of my favourite fantasy protagonists. Despite what everyone tells her, Vasya refuses to obey the standards society sets for her. Instead, she forges her own path and makes her own choices, never backing down even when the situation spirals out control.

The relationship Vasya has with her family--both those she's met and those she is introduced to--is delightfully complex. Choices are made, arguments are hand, and nothing is simple for our tenacious hero. The same can be said of the friends she makes, as some of them carry devastating secrets.

There are more action set pieces, especially near the end, which make for a thrilling read. All of the descriptions and prose are elegant and truly bring to life the majesty of Russian history. I've adored both books in the series so far and can't wait to see how it wraps up.

Beautiful and Exciting

I have listened to this book twice now, I am completely captivated by the main characters and Katherine Arden has done an amazing job creating this trilogy of books. It awoke a love of Slavic Folklore I didn't know I would have ever enjoyed. It is well written and was very well performed. I couldn't stop listening. It was such a great story. You cannot help but fall in love with the characters!
