Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic
Feb 12, 2018hannah_way rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
“This is the problem with making a thing forbidden. It does nothing but build an ache in the heart.” I felt pleasantly unsettled while reading these stories (3 of which I had read before as ebooks over the past 5 years). I was happy to see them again. Bardugo does an excellent job making these tales her own, while keeping elements of the familiar in the background. Sara Kipin’s lustrous illustrations made this collection even more enticing and magical. Wish I could re-read the final story, “When Water Sang oFire,” again and again as though it were the first time.
