The Tailor by Leigh Bardugo

sdbrewst's review

I was disappointed here.  Since it was 0.5 in all the lists, I thought it would be a real backstory for her, but instead it was a scene from her perspective after she leaves Alina in the infirmary.  It isn't a bad scene, but to call it 0.5 is just misleading because it doesn't really give us new info - she was abused by the king, the queen is awful to her.  That's all we got.

Het boek is eigenlijk net iets te kort om echt inzicht te geven in de situatie, maar het geeft wel net iets meer lading aan het geheel. Ik persoonlijk had graag nog wat meer diepgang in het verhaal gezien, nog wat meer emotie, tastbare emotie. Ik denk dat het dan bij mij harder en beter was binnen gekomen.

Don't make sense at all! Like did a miss something? Did I read something wrong? Because it doesn't make a sense

"It hurts, but I can bear it. Because I'm a doll, and a servant. Because I am a pretty thing and a soldier all the same".
My poor Genya.

It's not a book, even not long enough to be a short story. It has a lot of potential and I would like to see more of Genya and her perspective, this is a first glimpse of her story.

I can't believe this! I felt sorry for Alina for trusting her...

“I’d wish to be a true Grisha again, of course——but short of that, I’d settle for a lock on my chamber door.”

OUCH. YIKE.

I can’t believe I didn’t know this short story existed. I love Genya with all of my heart, she truly is such an underrated character.
