The Lives of Saints

A beautiful book

A beautifully illustrated and typeset book, it's a clear work of love. It borders just short of an illuminated manuscript style. Short folklore creations with a bit of a inexplicit moral. Even if you aren't interested in Bardugo's whole Grishaverse, this book stands alone, interesting and eyecatching.

This is hauntingly captivating. These stories are screepy and a tad frightening and their dark lives and ends will pull upon your heartstrings. Leigh Bardugo is a masterful storytelling genius.As superstitious beliefs and villainish folk rush to persecute the saints you'll find that you simply can't set this beautiful book aside. These are dark but so beautifully written. I loved adding more to the Grishaverse universe and gaining a better understanding of some of my favorite character's beliefs. This is filled with heroes and monster. This is a must-read for any Grishaverse fan! The inside artwork is spectacular! This is a quick read that you won't be forgetting. I imagine that it'll be invaluable as you navigate the Grishaverse and all of it's gloriousness.

I wanted to listen to this because Ben Barnes does the narration but I also wanted to read the hardcover because of the illustration, so instead of forcing myself to choose I did both at the same time and excellent life choice. This was a fun little companion to the Grisha world.

Great

The stories are bite sized stories mimicking real world fairy tales, but these aren't your disney fairy tales. These fairy tales, like the originals are much more darker but still entertaining. Amazing book.

THE LIVES OF SAINTS is a beautiful book that brings a fantasy world to life, adding a richness to the series written by Leigh Bardugo, and makes for a dazzling decorative piece for the casual passerby while providing an inspiring piece of myth and intrigue for the dedicated reader. I must applaud Bardugo and her team on managing to turn what was once a simple YA Fantasy trilogy into a growing empire.

Had a tear and some small damage on the binding on the book.

Not really sure what I was expecting but this is better. I mean, I did imagine the book The Apparat gave Alina but never like this and is amazing.

Loved reading this , so interesting to find out some lore behind the books! Shadow and bone is one of favourite series.

Pretty book, bought it as a gift.

Leigh Bardugo se garantiu muito criando esse livro. Além das histórias que são mencionadas na trilogia grisha estarem agora disponíveis no livro para quem ficava mega curioso em saber mais sobre o tão falados santos, essa edição é um encanto com uma capa e folha de rosto num tipo de corino vermelho, para ser fiel ao que é descrito sobre ele na trilogia grisha; as ilustrações são de uma forma que lembram pinturas mais realistas e da antiguidade; as páginas douradas ajudam a complementar o imaginário em torno do livro como algo sagrado, místico, cheio de histórias que a protagonista se questiona o quanto tem de simbólico de concreto.

First the arts in this book are stunning. The lives of Saints is a collections of shorts stories sets in the Grishaverse series by Leigh Bardugo. A great addition to the fans who love this serie.
