Read this if you want a snowy, bookish fantasy with a socially awkward heroine and a romance that creeps up on her.
Skip this if you want a lot of action, since much of the book is field notes, village life and careful folklore.

-
Uprooted
A fairy-tale forest that is genuinely menacing, a prickly heroine and a slow-growing bond with a difficult man.

The Love Hypothesis
A lighter, more modern take on academic rivals turned allies, without any of the folklore.
-
The Bear and the Nightingale
Cold, folklore-rich and full of household spirits, but more solemn and rooted in medieval Russia.
