This week I just had to dive in my most recent purchase the minute it arrived in the mail. This "WIR"-Wednesday I'm reading...
The Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic by Leigh Bardugo
Blurb:
Love speaks in flowers. Truth requires thorns.
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.
Inspired by myth, fairy tale, and folklore, #1 New York Times–bestselling author Leigh Bardugo has crafted a deliciously atmospheric collection of short stories filled with betrayals, revenge, sacrifice, and love.
Perfect for new readers and dedicated fans, these tales will transport you to lands both familiar and strange—to a fully realized world of dangerous magic that millions have visited through the novels of the Grishaverse.
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.
Why I Chose This Book | What I Think So Far:
I initially bought this book because it's so pretty, from the cover to the book under the book jacket, to the illustrations inside (although photos didn't do it justice!). I was anxious to begin reading and my library books just didn't interest me so I dove right in. I just started reading The Language of Thorns but I'm enjoying it so far!
