Above all, she loves the chilling story of Frost, the blue-eyed winter demon, who appears in the frigid night to claim unwary souls. But Vasilisa doesn’t mind-she spends the winter nights huddled around the embers of a fire with her beloved siblings, listening to her nurse’s fairy tales.

Sadly the hype didn’t ring true for me, I found it slow paced, confusing and ultimately quite dull. So I picked up the audiobook last month, wanting to know what all the fuss was about. The Bear and The Nightingale is one of those books that just seems to be everywhere around the blogosphere, and once you’ve seen something praised enough times, you can’t help but by intrigued.
