Loved this! I skipped one of the Saint's stories because I knew it would trigger me, but I read the rest. There's definitely some dark subject matter in this book, but I don't think that will surprise you if you've read The Grisha Trilogy.

I struggle with rating or reviewing books like this because it's filled with so many stories that each one could receive its very own rating and review. It's precisely how I felt with The Language of Thorns as well!

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!
