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.

This book serves as a decent tie-in, but isn't particularly interesting in its own right. It's a very quick read though.
