******Note: this is like the collection of Grisha's world traditional stories. Basically a stand alone.
*************************************
Unlike Lives of Saints which could make KoS and RoW make more sense.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
OK so. One top thing is the fantastical page frames ART.
Each story starts with a cropped art at the corner which grows on each page until it's complete at the end of each story.
Paying attention to the frame is fun because it changes as the twist comes by and the end nearing.
******Ok now, about the book********
An interesting creepy retelling of famous stories with symbolisms that dig deeply for those who relate or get it.
This was meant to be a light read,
Well it started like that, I had to take breaks between the stories to appreciate each one.
Did I enjoy it? Absolutely. Despite the different things I disliked, I did enjoy it.
My only regret is reading it at night. They slip easily to disturb my dreams
