Shadow and Bone readers will appreciate the Russian-tinged fantasy world of Katherine Arden's The Bear and the Nightingale. It starts, as many fairy tales do, with a wicked stepmother. When Vasya's father remarries, her new stepmother disdains their traditions and forbids their household — and, eventually, their village — from honouring the spirits. When the spirits rebel, so does Vasya, calling upon her long-hidden powers to try to save her family from the dangers that have been unleashed.
