Hi! Congratulations on the massive success of "The Bear and the Nightingale." I'm late to the party as usual but better late than never. I'm hearing such great things that I can't wait for the first book to be made available in my country as the synopsis just blew me away. I've been craving an original and beautiful book, this seems just the ticket. I have to ask though, is the book heavy on religious themes?
Katherine Arden
Thank you! And well, yes, to answer your question. It's not the only theme of the novel, but religious conflict does play an important role in this book, and in the series as a whole.

Love all your sources! How about a sort of predecessor in the fantasy genre based on Russian folklore https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7973.Enchantment? Thank you so much for Vasilissa! And great poetic language., I also enjoyed your bringing obscure real historic figures into the fantasy world (Dmitry Donskoy,, Ivan Kalita, Sergyi Radonezhsky etc,) Thank you!

Katherine Arden:
Hi Katherine! I have a question that you might not be able to answer because it depends more on your publisher, but I still have to ask just in case. Is the Winternight Trilogy going to be released in a box set or something similar to that? I'm a sucker for collector's editions and I'd really love to have this series in a set since I love it to death.
