--3.5/5 stars--
A cautionary tale, no doubt, to instill that appearances are deceiving, and that just because you've always gotten by on wits alone, doesn't mean you're impervious to other, more menacing traps.
Of course, I had my suspicions about pitiful Sofiya from the beginning, but I still wasn't immune to the feelings of surprise when Koja was caught in his final trap.
"Freedom is a burden, but you will learn to bear it."

Another beautiful folk tale from Leigh Bardugo's world of the Grisha.
Captivating and charming.

Primero, amo las portadas de estas historias, y esta no es la excepción.
Al fin entiendo la referencia de Alina hacia Nikolai, y la verdad es que tiene toda la razón.
Me gusta mucho como tiene esas vibras de cuento clásico como los Grinn y Andersen, fue interesante ver como era un zorro quién contaba la historia, me esperaba el giro pero siento que lo que más vale la pena es la narración y ambientación

My first audio book to finish.
I enjoyed the story and the narrator.
The stars given are for the narrator also. Because of her I was able to finnish it

I started Siege and Storm first, and was thinking I'd skip the novellas all together, but when the too clever fox was mentioned on the first few pages... I just picked it up and devoured it in a few minutes.
That was one hell of a novella.
I liked how Leigh Bardugo even took the time to make a short novella about a myth that was being told in the world she created. Usually, authors get lazy and would fail to elaborate on stuff like that. I think these are important to really engage the reader.
The myth of the The Too Clever Fox has a lesson of its own (which really won me over). If you think you're clever, think again. There is always someone cleverer than you.
I didn't it a 5 star because I saw the clues on what would happen. I don't want to spoil anything but I would have to say it was a bit predictable... And unpredictability is one thing I love in books.
Still, this novella was great!
