The Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic
by Leigh Bardugo
I absolutely loved this collection of Grisha fairytales. Being able to see Leigh Bardugos take on stories like Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, etc. was quite interesting, especially with everything being set in her magical Grisha world. In the Author's Note, she talks about writing the stories how they would have been told to the main characters in both her Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows series and how these tales would have shaped each of their beliefs. I just adored the whimsical and dark edges to each of these recreated fairytales.
If you're a fan of Leigh Bardugo or of fairytales in general, this is definitely a collection you should pick up. You don't need to know the other two series to read it (this is actually my first Leigh Bardugo book), but I'm sure having that knowledge would make the experience even better.
