Regardless, Bardugo’s writing was gorgeously eerie and the descriptive language in this one was so rich, it was impossible not to devour the whole story. This one was a little short and fairly fast-paced, so I couldn’t connect with the characters and the story very well. The ones included for this short story were so cleverly done, they speak a thousand words and tell the tale so beautifully and deceptively. The one thing that stood out most for me were the illustrations.
I’ve not read her Grisha trilogy yet but even then I still immensely enjoyed this short story. I love when you follow the ‘outcast’ character, because when they do something amazing it just blows your mind and makes you root for them even more.
Ayama is such a fierce and interesting character. This collection of six stories includes three brand-new tales, all of them lavishly illustrated with art that changes with each turn of the page, culminating in six stunning full-spread illustrations as rich in detail as the stories themselves.Ī brilliant opening to a collection of deliciously dark and captivating short stories. Travel to a world of dark bargains struck by moonlight, of haunted towns and hungry woods, of talking beasts and gingerbread golems, where a young mermaid’s voice can summon deadly storms and where a river might do a lovestruck boy’s bidding but only for a terrible price.
