A fantastical collection of short stories rooted in the grishaverse, each with its own further roots in distinct countries from the fictional world, some stories are longer than they needed to be but most are just the perfect length. Either way, this Grishaverse anthology is a perfect way to showcase more details from within the world of the Grisha, almost acting as a sort of world building supplement to the rest of the series, ever-so perfectly.
