The second in a trilogy of books that started with Small Spaces.  

 

This was as well written as the other one with a believable story and well rounded characters. This was also aimed at 10 - 12 year olds so I'm not sure if the contents would be too scary or scary enough but I enjoyed it and it was something of an original plotline.

      Small Spaces
      By lunababymoonchild
      This book is a) aimed at 10-12 year olds so I wasn't expecting to be scared by it and I wasn't and b) the first of a trilogy.  It's a nice story about ghosts and living scarecrows, well written with rounded characters and a believable-ish story line.

      For those who are interested, Katherine Arden (of Winternight fame) has three new books : Small Spaces, Dead Voices and Dark Waters (to be released in August this year), a new trilogy.

      The Winter of the Witch
      By lunababymoonchild
      Book 3 in the Winternight Trilogy.  More Russian fairy tales, culture and tradition.  Just as good as the previous two, I couldn't put it down.
       
      Highly recommended.

      The Girl in the Tower
      By lunababymoonchild
      Book 2 in the Winternight Trilogy.
       
      This one continues with the story of Vasya to whom we are introduced in the first book.  Like the first book it's a Russian fairy tale, so set in Russia with much description of snow and dangerously cold temperatures, demons, fairy folk (domovoi), ghosts etc.  We get to know a lot more about the winter King, introduced in the first book by Vasya's nurse and we hear more about  Russian tradition and much about horses.  
       
      It's just as entertaining a read as the first one and I'm looking forward to the third one.

      The Bear and the Nightingale
      By Viccie
      I chanced on this description on Amazon
      In a village at the edge of the wilderness of northern Russia, where the winds blow cold and the snow falls many months of the year, an elderly servant tells stories of sorcery, folklore and the Winter King to the children of the family, tales of old magic frowned upon by the church.

      But for the young, wild Vasya these are far more than just stories. She alone can see the house spirits that guard her home, and sense the growing forces of dark magic in the woods...
       
      and knowing that it's just the sort of thing my daughter loves got for her as a Christmas stocking present. She adored it (she's well grown up) and passed it on to me and I have to say I loved it too. it's not wildly original, there's nothing stupendous about the writing and I'm sure someone who knows Russia and its folk tales would pick a lot of holes but it's one of those books that throws a spell.
       
      I hate reccommendations thgat go, 'If you liked...' but honestly, in this case,  I can't help saying that I think anyone who loved The Night Circus (which I did) is really going to enjoy this too.
