'tis the season for fairy tales and leigh bardugo is a retelling queen! but honestly, she could write the same word over and over for 100 pages and i would still love it. plus, the illustrations in this are nothing short of remarkable! this is such a treasure of a book!
ayama and the thorn wood - ive actually never heard this story before, but its such an beautiful telling and so unique!
4.5/5
the too clever fox - basically, this makes me wish i was more clever and that the fox was my spirit animal. lol.
4.5/5
the witch of duva - i really admire the dark spin on this story. its so magically twisted -- perfect for my black heart.
3.5/5
little knife - awww. so delightful and important. such a lovely story.
4/5
the soldier prince - ive never really been a fan of the nutcracker, but this gives me all the those winter feels.
4/5
when water sang fire - yessss. my love, in all his cameo glory! my favourite story only because of the darkling. obvs.
5/5
↠ 4.5 stars overall

fantastic review! so excited to read this😍
woohoo! im excited for you, too! happy reading!! :)
omg yes I loved this one!
Leigh Bardugo is just a Queen in general
isabelle - yay!! so happy you enjoyed this as much as i did!! :)noah - TRUTH!!! 🙌🏻
This looks awesome! I've been looking for a book like this and I think I just might convince Santa to buy me this! :)
hahaha. YES!! i hope you get it because its such a wonderful book. definitely a unique collection of retellings!
This collection is legit amazing! I have recommended it to SO MANY people. I read this before the Shadow & Bone trilogy and then decided to read it immediately!
this was actually recommended to me by a friend! i had already read the shadow and bone series, as well as the six of crows duology, so i knew LB could tell stories. but this blew me away! so glad you enjoyed it as well, emily!
I'm such an idiot, I thought it was Morozova! 🙄
