The Too-Clever Fox by Leigh Bardugo
4.0
I started Siege and Storm first, and was thinking I'd skip the novellas all together, but when the too clever fox was mentioned on the first few pages... I just picked it up and devoured it in a few minutes.
That was one hell of a novella.
I liked how Leigh Bardugo even took the time to make a short novella about a myth that was being told in the world she created. Usually, authors get lazy and would fail to elaborate on stuff like that. I think these are important to really engage the reader.
The myth of the The Too Clever Fox has a lesson of its own (which really won me over). If you think you're clever, think again. There is always someone cleverer than you.
I didn't it a 5 star because I saw the clues on what would happen. I don't want to spoil anything but I would have to say it was a bit predictable... And unpredictability is one thing I love in books.
Still, this novella was great!
