I think this is one of the best novellas in a series that I've read and it contained literally no characters from The Grisha Trilogy but instead contained the atmosphere and folklore that made me fall in love with the Grisha world. This story tells the tale of a young girl who is living in a village where girls are going missing. I was totally entranced by the spell of this writing, and the mystical, haunting way it was written. It was a little bit of a twisted tale containting bits of Hansel and Gretel and The Gingerbread Man. I really didn't expect the ending. I was so creeped it out and it left me completely shocked. I would definitely read a whole book on Ravka fairytales.
