The Curiosities: A Collection of Stories by Tessa Gratton, Brenna Yovanoff, Maggie Stiefvater
5.0
you know, i decided this year i didn't have to review every book i read but it turns out i'm far too attached to the sound of my own voice to leave a book uncommented upon
besides this book is really great, it feels unfair to give words to ai ore and neglect something i actually liked
i'm not going to do the individual story review thing though because there were at least thirty of them, this is about me rambling, not putting actual work in
so what are these stories? creepy, atmospheric, gorgeous, full of monsters and the girls who kill them
i kind of want to toss it on tumblr because i feel like every person who flies the misandry flag would be about this life
also every single one of these stories has magic, like i know there's one tessa gratton tries to claim doesn't but i subscribe to the 'it feels like it does though!' argument of yovanoff
oh wait hold up i just remembered some yovanoff's stories. okay i retract my statement, most of these stories have magic and the ones that don't have murder so it all comes out even in the end
and it makes me want to write, i'm awed by the fact that these women could produce gems like these on a weekly basis like how? words??? on pages?!? perhaps i can attempt this thing as well?!?!?
(doug, pretend you didn't read that bit, i'm still ignoring the writing gauntlet you've thrown)
someone remind me to buy this when it comes out in paperback because i really want to own it
5 stars
