The Lives of Saints by Leigh Bardugo

4.0

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!
