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.

A collection of short stories.  I liked learning the history of the universe. Getting insight into the saints, the places and characters of grishaverse.
