De vormgeving en illustraties van dit boek zijn echt *chefs kiss* maar de verhalen vond ik niet allemaal even boeiend. Het zijn heel korte verhaaltjes die wat minder fijn weglezen dan bijvoorbeeld de langere verhalen in The Language of Thorns, en het boek is vrij dun. Ik denk dat dit een leuke aanvulling is voor je GrishaVerse boekenplank (want het boek is pretty en geeft wat achtergrondinformatie over heiligen die in de andere boeken genoemd worden) en de verhalen waren prima, maar niet heel bijzonder, dus 3 sterren it is.

Un'opera complementare del Grishaverse non proprio fondamentale, probabilmente più un'operazione commerciale spinta dalla serie che altro.
Nondimeno è un bel volume da avere, fosse anche solo per il pregio e la bellezza dell'edizione. A livello di contenuto è piuttosto superfluo, ma non spiacevole.

Miluji doplňkové knihy k sériím. Naposledy to byl bonusový díl ke Krutému princi a teď příběhy ze světa Griši.
Je to pastva pro oči, protože jsou nádherně ilustrované a Život svatých vypadá úžasně, aniž byste knihu vůbec otevřeli. Již na první pohled je vidět, že se vám v knihovně bude krásně vyjímat.
Uvnitř se nachází několik krátkých příběhů, které čtenáři přiblíží a doplní informace ke světu grišů.
Některé se mi líbily méně, jiné více a pár z nich bych klidně uvítala delších. Vůbec by mi nevadilo, kdyby se Leigh Bardugo trochu více rozepsala.
Pokud jste si oblíbili série Griša, Šest vran nebo Zjizvený král a další knihy od Leigh Bardugo (Démon z lesů, Trnitá řeč) a chcete se ještě víc dozvědět o tomto světě, Život svatých doporučuji.

The Lives of Saints is a collection of short stories by popular author Leigh Bardugo. Each of the stories in this collection are very short and tell the story of a different saint. Most of them are about the origin of a saint but a few of the stories tell of how a saint helped someone who prayed to them. These had a magical quality to them, with a definite fairy tale feel. Each story was a small capsule that immediately captivated.
I read my first Leigh Bardugo book last month and quite enjoyed it. It was[b:Ninth House|43263680|Ninth House (Alex Stern, #1)|Leigh Bardugo|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1553102141l/43263680._SY75_.jpg|53348200] so wasn't even part of the Grishaverse. I am sharing this info for anyone wondering if you can read The Lives of Saints without reading the other Grishaverse books first, and the answer is unequivocally YES.
I listened to the audiobook and it was narrated by multiple narrators (one per story). I quite enjoyed it and it was a fairly quick read at just under an hour and a half. It's a great pick if you are scurrying about doing housework, shopping or even commuting to work.
Thank you to Harper Collins Audio for the audiobook in exchange for a review!
