Like stories of saints in the Christian faith, the people in these stories meet a variety of ends. Some of them graphic and violent.nils_0's review against another edition

Poor Saints, mostly had such misfortune.
There were some great ones, my favorite the first and last.
Also, the one about the unbreachable Crystal Palace… oh well The Crows didn’t find it so, ups.
I’m curious to see how these play out in the show, though.

However, I will say that I enjoyed this very much. Learning about all of the saints gave me such an in-depth look at the Grishaverse. It helped me understand so many of the references in the Shadow and Bone series, especially.
I listened to the audiobook and absolutely loved every minute of it. Ben Barnes narration was phenomenal as always. It will be a book I listen to again and again over the years, I just know it!
