The best one so far.
I'm enamored with these novellas, for the most part.
The writing is beautiful and the story is sadly too short.

The last of the three Ravkan short stories :) This one was probably my favorite of the three because it touched in spoke about the abuse of magic and how nature has its own "magic."

Thanks to the lovely karen I found this little gem. Leigh Bardugo can write! I love this type of story. At first I didn't think I was going to like Little Knife much because we had the perfect girl. Yeva-her beauty was enough to make men lose their senses, cause fights, yada yada.
Then her father the duke decided it was time for her to marry and figured was for himself to prosper.
Life has a way of not working out like you figure.

Another story about winning the hand of a beautiful bride, with an overarching moral to the story. A little bit of an ominous folk tale, but not dark at all. Just be true.

"If you have been foolish enough to wander from the path, it is up to you to make your way back to the road."
I love this little story. A fairytale-like. With some good lessons in it. Exactly the type of story I want to read to make me feel like a part of this world.
