I listened to the audiobook.
The voice overs didn't sound good to me. But that will not affect my rating. What does are the actual stories.
Whats up with all the partying, sexdriven, swearing, dramatic background stories?
Seriously? There is more to us than that.
Leigh's story was very fanatsy driven which is very like her. It was interesting and different. As if you were listening to a legend during a trip. It was nice.
I do appreciate how they tried to have different types of charachters with whom we could connect. Thank you for that.

This book had the perfect summer vibe, I'll give it that. I decided to read it because Leigh Bardugo had a story in it and I've wanting to read more of her work lately but with a lot of other books on my currently reading pile I couldn't commit to a novel. After seeing Lev Grossman, Cassandra Clare and Veronica Roth were in the mix, I decided to go for it.
I think the writing was unique to each writer's voice and therefore I liked some stories better than others. They all, however, have a lot of heart and there's something for everyone in this book. I think some were strong and some left a lot of unanswered questions as well.
I enjoyed Bardugo's story, despite being left with a few confused questions. She has a way with words that makes her stories elegantly scripted and descriptive. They're dazzling and this is some of her finest example.
I will say one short stuck with me in particular. Roth's story felt raw and emotional and left me crying. It was incredibly deep and artistic and I wish it had been a fully fleshed out novel because I would have devoured that as well.

I love these and I hope they bring out Autumn and Spring editions.
Twelve lovely stories, some fantastical and magical, others without magic but no less romantic.
My favourites are between Leigh Bardugo's "Head, Scales, Tongue, Tail" and "A Thousand Ways This Could All Go Wrong." Both heart achingly beautiful but in very different ways.
My least favourite was probably Clare's "Brand New Attraction" although the concept of the carnival was cool.
Like I said, I love these. Perfect for reading on the beach in summer
