"It was only then that she saw the black-clad boy crossing the room toward her. The shadows seemed to shift as he passed, pulled along by him like a tide." Hello, Darkling. THIS WAS SO GOOD.YOU GUYS. I can't even function to write a full review so I'm going to wait.But.The last story.WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??? IS SHE STILL ALIVE?? SEND HELPMy Blog ~ Instagram ~ Twitter ~ Etsy
So shut the window tight and make sure the latch is fastened. Dark things have a way of slipping in through narrow spaces. *shivers*Bardugo is definitely at her best when writing short stories. These dark, haunting and beautifully-written little fairy tales had me reading at every spare moment. They have that timeless fairy tale quality, reminiscent of Neil Gaiman and Laini Taylor’s Lips Touch: Three Times. And if you’re considering whether it is worth buying a hardcover copy of The Language
THIS WAS SO GOOD AND I'M NOT SURPRISED AT ALL ABOUT ITThis was delightfully dark and creepy and was the perfect fairy tale collection for a universe I have come to love. Leigh Bardugo is not only incredible at writing novels, she also writes outstanding shorter pieces. Her writing style is perfect for fairy tales. I'M OBSESSED. Also THE ILLUSTRATIONS oh my goodness I could not stop marvelling at them and how they formed a frame around the pages and something was added every time you flipped the
'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!4.5/5the too clever fox - basically, this makes me wish i was more clever and that the fox was my spirit animal...
So, I'm having a WTF-did-I-really-give-this-a-three-star-rating moment. I honestly thought I was going to love this! (See my excitement below!)And since I pretty much converted to Bardugo-ism last year, I thought, that's it. This woman can write whatever, and it'll be perfect and as if I've been handed a slice of heaven itself. I mean, she's queen. All hail! This collection just did not do it for me. It could be my slumpish mood... however, I did enjoy some of the stories, The Witch of Duva in p...
Who knew that genuine beauty can be found in midnight tales infused with a dash of twisted? “Bad fates do not always follow those who deserve them.” The Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic is a collection of tales inspired by folklore and beloved stories, such as The Little Mermaid, Hansel and Gretel and The Nutcracker, but they follow a different path. Through lush, marvelous illustrations and words that warm your heart only to tear it from your chest, between thorns drawi...
I just finished reading this and honestly where the fuck is The Darkling, I'm so confused.----UPDATE: Just found out my soul mate Daddy Darkling in this book and I'm having a hard time breathing. Fucking hElp mE IM DYING*implodes* -----------y'all don't even know how bad I want my daddy Darkling to be in this
Leigh’s back again, ruining lives, destroying homes, making little children (me) cry thank you for this leigh, its v welcome Ayama and the Thorn Wood ~ 4.5 stars- This story man, it was great- Fantastic, superb, entertaining- What an excellent kick off for the collection of stories- The quiet, ugly-ducklings GET A STORY YES FINALLY - I just really loved the moral of the story- Bc we’re always getting these fantastical YA books about flawlessly chiseled heroines and perfectly crafted love int...
''You see, some people are born with a piece of night inside, and that hollow place can never be filled- not with all the good food or sunshine in the world.'' Leigh Bardugo is a writer that doesn't need introductions. I haven't read the Crows Duology but I enjoyed the Grisha Trilogy immensely and I knew that a short stories collection inspired by the Grisha universe would be as dark and complex as the Darkling's fascinating world. I wasn't disappointed. There are four original stories and tw
