I have no complaints, but I can’t say that I was particularly captured by the story. ( )

My only critique is that this was too short. Other than that, the illustrations were beautiful and the story was interesting. ( )

Ooo the illustrations are so gorgeous plus the story is great! I haven’t read this novella yet so I’m not sure how close it is but the dialogue was done really well. And I mean…it’s the Darkling… ( )

7/10 ( )

4.5/5 stars

I have read the short story already and I am so grateful that a graphic novel was released. It is such a beautiful thing to see it come to life through the breathtaking visuals from Danny Pendergast.

I mean, if Leigh Bardugo publishes her shopping list, I will happily read it. These short stories by Leigh are brilliantly written, giving us a lot while also leaving room for anticipation. I wish for more of these short stories to be bought to life, especially The Witch of Dua, Little Knife, and The Too-Clever Fox.

I will spend my life savings on Ms. Bardugo.

PS. On a bad day, this book takes about 20 minutes to be completed, and while it is a collector's item for any Grishaverse fan but it is an extremely short story for someone new to spend a lot of money on. ( )
