To speak of this book without praising Sara Kipin's glorious illustrations would be a crime of the highest order. With every turn of the page, the margins bloom with colour, coming further and further to life. I would often catch myself skipping ahead for a glimpse of the final picture, only held back by the spoilers it would contain. Kipin's bright and bold work brings these stories, their characters and the setting to a new level.
Whether you're new to the Grishaverse or long-time fan, this book is a must-read for all. Its beautiful pages and enthralling tales shed spectacular light on a world of powerful sorcerers and terrible monsters.

Details will be graphic and intense and they will come without warning. This is definitely the kind of read you should be feeling mentally strong when reading, and weary of if any of the content warnings upset you because they will not be alluded to - they will be described viscerally.albyalbyalby's review against another edition
