Christelle asked Katherine Arden:

Thank you for the winternight trilogy. I've read the first one and I have just received the second one! I studied Russian for 6 years and it is a pity I know nothing about Russian tales! I would be very thankful if you could recommend mustread Russian books? Greetings from Southern France !

Katherine Arden If you want folklore, read the collected fairy tales of Aleksandr Afanasyev. If you want a cool Russian read, I recently loved Vita Nostra by Sergei and Marina Dyachenko

A Goodreads user asked Katherine Arden:

The Bear and the Nightingale was a lovely read, thank you! Is your necklace medallion in your profile photo what inspired the description of Vasya's talisman or am I mistaken? :)

Minahel
Minahel asked Katherine Arden:

I was wondering how you go about creating and developing your characters, without being blunt or overly descriptive? I noticed in your novel that Vasya and even all the minor characters were fleshed out and felt authentic. This is something I struggle with a lot in my own writing so I'd love some tips!
