El oso y el ruiseñor

The way traditional myths are woven into the plot felt so authentic and immersive. I wonder what inspired her to take this approach and how much research went into it.

The story seemed to take its time building the atmosphere, but I found myself wanting more action. Was this intentional to deepen the world-building?

The snowy Russian landscape feels almost like a character itself, influencing the mood and decisions. How much do you think the setting guides the story's themes?
