Language Of Thorns Is Stunningly Illustrated And Deliciously Dark | Book Review
Hey friends!
Today I'm going to be sharing with you a no spoiler book review for Language Of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo which is a companion to her Grishaverse books such as the Shadow And Bone trilogy and the Six Of Crows duology (read more: Six Of Crows and Crooked Kingdom mini reviews) which i'm sure you already know about seeing how famous they are!
I didn't know much about this book before going into it other than it was utterly gorgeous and it was a bunch of short stories set in the Grishaverse. But I really enjoyed it when I read it and i'm so glad I gave it a shot.

Synopsis: Love speaks in flowers. Truth requires thorns.
Travel to a world of dark bargains struck by moonlight, of haunted towns and hungry woods, of talking beasts and gingerbread golems, where a young mermaid's voice can summon deadly storms and where a river might do a lovestruck boy's bidding but only for a terrible price.
Inspired by myth, fairy tale, and folklore, #1 New York Times–bestselling author Leigh Bardugo has crafted a deliciously atmospheric collection of short stories filled with betrayals, revenge, sacrifice, and love.
Perfect for new readers and dedicated fans, these tales will transport you to lands both familiar and strange—to a fully realized world of dangerous magic that millions have visited through the novels of the Grishaverse.
This collection of six stories includes three brand-new tales, all of them lavishly illustrated with art that changes with each turn of the page, culminating in six stunning full-spread illustrations as rich in detail as the stories themselves. (source)
