This beautifully written tragic story hurt my heart so much. Short, not sweet, and straight to the point; a fantastic addition to the Grisha-verse.

Didn't think it would hurt a little to read more about the Darkling's youth... but it did. I kind of understand how he acts during the events of the Grisha trilogy but it creeped me out a little. I liked it and it gave me another side to his story :)

This is a peak into the Darkling's life as a boy. It lets us see the events that he let drive him to the dark path he chose.

Mejor la novela gráfica que incluye algo más, pero aun así hay detallitos a parte que nos cuenta la autora. Lo mejor la narración.

“Fear is a powerful ally, but feed it too often, make it too strong, and it will turn on you”


I have to admit, this made me feel for the Darkling a little bit more.

“he understood then. that grisha lived as shadows did, passing over the surface of the world, touching nothing, forced to change their shapes and hide in corners, driven by fear as shadows were driven by the sun. no safe place. no haven. ‘there will be’, he promised in the darkness, new words written upon his heart. ‘i will make one’.”

the shadow and bone characters only thrive in their short stories istg. like tell me why the darkling and genyas short stories are more interesting than the entire trilogy put together?
