The Bear and the Nightingale is an intensely dark fairytale retelling with characters that you will pull your heart strings.
When I first started reading, it took me a bit to get all of the characters straight as they often have different names to different people. However, once I figured that part out, I was pulled into a fantastical Russia with frightening fairytale creatures come to life and a girl who can see them.
The story definitely was very dark and at times I was reading wide-eyed and scared for the characters.
