Grimoire of the Four Impostors by Coy Hall
dark
mysterious
medium-paced
3.5
Let's just take a second and applaud this fantastic cover. It's the first thing that caught my eye and drew me into this story. The author's note at the beginning also had me questioning what I was getting into here. I love that the grimoire is presented as real, and the concept of a book that is known to change what's written inside it, while not new, is always interesting.
The format of the book honestly reminded me of the Bible with the thin, column-like structure. I feel like that might be intentional considering the nature of the grimoire, and the knowledge it's supposed to hold.
Unfortunately, I don't think the four stories are equal in terms of how they held my interest, but this was definitely one of the more unique reads of the year for me. I will for sure be looking into this authors other stories, and keeping an eye on future works.
