I’m not usually a fan of short stories especially those compiled in one book. I prefer full length novels for optimum enjoyment of all elements in the story but I took exception on Ms. Leigh Bardugo’s The Language of Thorns well because I completely trust this woman and sure enough, I was very satisfied.
All six stories pleased my senses and almost every bit I require of a full length fantasy novel, I found in these stories which are like a collection of literary revolution against stereotypes and common fairytales. With perfectly beautiful but relatable writing, unexpected plot twists and gorgeous illustrations, this is one short story compilation a fantasy reader will definitely enjoy.
My rating for the each of the stories.
Ayama and the Thorn Wood- 5/5
The Too Clever Fox-4/5
The Witch of Duva- 5/5
Little Knife- 4/5
The Soldier Prince-4/5
When Water Sang Fire-4/5
