The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden
Series: The Bear and the Nightingale #2
Publisher: Del Ray
Publication Date: December 5, 2017
The magical adventure begun in The Bear and the Nightingale continues as brave Vasya, now a young woman, is forced to choose between marriage or life in a convent and instead flees her home—but soon finds herself called upon to help defend the city of Moscow when it comes under siege.
Orphaned and cast out as a witch by her village, Vasya’s options are few: resign herself to life in a convent, or allow her older sister to make her a match with a Moscovite prince. Both doom her to life in a tower, cut off from the vast world she longs to explore. So instead she chooses adventure, disguising herself as a boy and riding her horse into the woods. When a battle with some bandits who have been terrorizing the countryside earns her the admiration of the Grand Prince of Moscow, she must carefully guard the secret of her gender to remain in his good graces—even as she realizes his kingdom is under threat from mysterious forces only she will be able to stop.
This one looks good!
I am really excited about it!

I do love the cover. I have a good feeling about this one 🙂
This sounds exciting. I do hope you enjoy it as much or even better than you did the first one.
I am very hopeful about it!
I haven't heard of this series before, but I love anything fairytale like so I'll have to look more into it! The cover is stunning. I just love the oranges and the starry look…it's very eye-catching. Great pick, Carole! I hope you love it when you get the chance to read it! 🙂
It really is a great cover. I am hoping that it turns out to be as good as the first.
I still need to read The Bear and the Nightingale. I didn't realize it as series!
I believe that it is planned trilogy. The first book did stand alone but I am ready to see what happens next.
Sounds really good
It does!
I can see why you are eager to pick this one up. I love fairytale themes with a mix of russian settings. You don't see that very often.
It really is a great combination.
The Bear and the Nightingale was one of the books I was really considering. Didn't now it was a series though.
The Bear and the Nightingale works well on its own but this is a part of the trilogy.
That sounds like it would be good.
I agree 🙂
I should tell the library to get book 1, they are awesome like that
I love libraries that will do that!
This sounds like an exciting series. I'd love to read the first book. Thanks for sharing. Hope you enjoy the sequel as much as the first 🙂
I really enjoyed the writing in the first book so I feel like I need this one.
I still need to read the first one in the series! I've heard it's great. Nice pick!
I really enjoyed the first book. I hope you get the chance to read it!
I haven't read the first book in this series, but I've read some good reviews for it. I hope you enjoy this one. 🙂
I liked the first one. I am hoping that this one will be just as enjoyable.
I seriously need to read the first book soon! I'm really excited for the sequel though!

The first book in this series has been on my TBR forever. It sounds amazing. I hope book 2 gives you more of what you loved in book 1.

The covers in this series look pretty good. Hope you enjoy the book when you read it!
I do think that the covers are gorgeous!
These covers are so pretty in this series. I still need to read the first one – not enough time, but this one sounds just as good. Great choice!
I know exactly what you mean in regards to time. The first one was really good when you do get around to it.
