Habe mir das Buch extra aufgespart und das war so eine gute Entscheidung. Es hat mich gerade sehr erfüllt über Ravka, Ketterdam, den Ice Court etc. zu lesen ♥️

Never not sorry for loving the Grishaverse Also the illustrations are STUNNING and I need to get my hands on some prints if that is possible?!

I already love that this exists, I love learning more about this world and enjoy getting to know its lore and whatnot. Such a a cool addition to the grishaverse, plus the illustrations are just so pretty! Naturally I liked some stories more than others (hence the 4 stars) but overall a lovely addition to the series.

this feels like reading the bible. it is so numb. there are no real emotions, feelings or ideas or anything interesting. If you would ask me to repeat any name or anything important and/or interesting happening in this "book", i couldn´t. oh wait, I think sankta something fell from a balcony and died. so all balconies are called now sankta something. or this other sankta, which fell into the river and died. after that all rivers were namend after sankta theothersomething. (<- not kidding this is how it goes. all. the. time. and each sankta something stories is 1-2 pages long.) Due to the upcoming netflix show and the imprinted (!!!) netflix logo on the cover this feels more like making quick money and milking the cow. the artworks are beautiful to look at..but that´s it then.

War ein super Buch für die Fans des Grisha-Verse

The illustrations are so beautiful. I also love the dark and eerie atmosphere of the book, that truly make it fit into the Grishaverse. But the stories weren't that memorable and some didn't even make any sense? I also was sad that the story about Sankta Alina wasn't even about Alina? but another girl praying to her

3,5 Kurze Geschichten zu den Göttern aus den Grishaverse. Manche waren ganz schön, einige und Form von Märchen, Sagen und irgendwie auch Fabeln. Einige weniger wiederum eher sinnlos.Die Illustrationen sind sehr schön, wirklich was fürs Auge. Kurzweiliges Leseerlebnis für alle Fans von Grisha und Krähen.

Ganz große Liebe - Ich liebe diese Welt! Der Schreibstil der Autorin ist wie immer super angenehm zu lesen und absolut passend zu der Geschichte bzw. den Geschichten, die hier erzähl werden. Er unterstreicht die zum Teil sehr düstere Atmosphäre, die in diesem Buch herrscht, wirklich sehr gut. Die einzelnen Geschichten sind einfach unglaublich toll. Es macht so viel Spaß und ist super interessant, mehr über die Heiligen, die in den anderen Grishaverse-Büchern erwähnt werden, zu erfahren. Dadurch erhält man nochmal einen viel tieferen Einblick in die Welt der Grisha, die mich generell von Anfang an begeistert hat. Dass die Geschichten dann noch an sich absolut spannend, teilweise märchenhaft, emotional und manchmal einfach nur wunderschön sind, setzt dem ganzen nur noch die Krone auf. Auch die Charaktere wachsen einem auf den wenigen Seiten, die ihre Geschichte erzählen , direkt ans Herz, sodass man am liebsten noch mehr von ihnen lesen würde, wobei manche von ihnen einem natürlich schon aus den anderen Büchern, die in diesem Universum spielen, kennt. Zuletzt muss außerdem noch erwähnt werden, dass das Buch wirklich wunderschön illustriert ist. Ich habe absolut keine Worte für die Schönheit dieses Buches. Einfach wow! Alles in allem kann ich also gar nicht anders, als diesem Buch 5 Sterne zu geben. Eine große Empfehlung an alle Grisha-Fans!

This book is exactly what you'd expect it to be. It's informative and interesting but only for fans of the grishaverse. It's a bit boring to read but the cover and the illustrations are beautiful. It absolutely fulfills its purpose of being an addition to the grishaverse books and explaining the world a bit further.

A lovely book with awesome art and dreamy stories! As a fan of both Leigh Bardugo's books and fairytales this was the perfect read for me!
