This was absolutely amazing. I can't believe it's taken me thing long to read one of Bardugo's books and man I wished I started earlier. Each story in this collection is amazing in it's own way and I loved them all.

The illustrations are beautiful. I love how they keep building into a bigger picture as the story goes on and ends with the full piece. Is it possible just to get prints of those pictures?

Anyway, I had a blast.  

 I don't know what Laini Taylor does to create such a rich atmosphere to her stories, but I hope she never stops. She describes Prague like some impossible dream, contrasting to how she portrays the dark world the of the seraphim and chimera. The story has a really good pace to it, never feeling too slow or too fast. 

The characters are deep and engaging, there wasn't one that I thought flat or completely unlikable. Just all around a good read.

(But I swear if there turns out to be a love triangle further down on the road...)
