Dana (24 KP) rated Little Knife (Grisha Verse, #2.6) in Books
Mar 23, 2018
I really respect when authors put together stories that would be in the folklore of the world they built. I can imagine Alina or Nina getting told this story when she was a kid.
I loved how this story was so much about girl power and a woman's rights to her own personhood.
I enjoy any kind of fairy tale, but I especially love one that takes place in a world I adore. The language used was very mysterious and lyrical, much like the Grimm Brothers or Hans Christian Anderson would use in their classic fairy tales.
I loved the twists and spins in the story.
Spoilers ahead. You have been warned.
Don't trust rivers, they may be FREAKING GODS IN DISGUISE!?!?!?!?
