New writer Laini Taylor has a gift for creating unique, mesmerizingly fallible characters. In this insipred collection of short stories, three strong female heroines navigate curses, goblin entrapments, and alternate worlds.
The three fantasy tales are each illustrated with short graphic prequels in rich reds and blacks. These graphic introductions give readers a backstory that can't be fully understood until they unravel the text of the tales.
The stories all have a thread of romance, and a chilling core of horror. The author has woven legends, zoroastrian myths, and victorian poetry into a compellingly dark series of tales where the good may not always come out on top.
