The Too-Clever Fox is a gruesome story with a fablelike quality that fools the readers into thinking that they know what is going on and what is going to happen. It is a masterfully and vividly written, and perfectly enjoyable little tale. Leigh Bardugo is one of those storytellers who can conjure up an entire sophisticated world in a couple of pages - it is a fascinating capability few authors manage to achieve. This is a short story/small novella set in the Grisha world. Almost half of this novella is a preview of the third book in the Grisha series (which I read quite a while ago). I have really been enjoying the 0.5 books in this series. This novella was a decent read and was basically a folk tale from that world. The big twist in the story was very predictable which was the biggest disappointment to this tale. In the woods there lives a very clever, but very ugly, fox. He is known for escaping a number of dire situations. When large animals start disappearing from the forest the other animals come to him for help; can he solve the mystery of the disappearing animals? When he finds out that a notorious hunter has moved into the area he tries to befriend the hunter’s sister in an effort to get rid of the hunter for good. This was a well written folktale and I enjoyed it. I loved the irony of the tale and enjoyed the description throughout. The only thing I didn’t really like was how predictable the major twist in the folktale was. I saw it coming from a mile away and was somewhat disappointed that I was right. This was also very very short; half of the ebook was a preview of book 3 in the Grisha series. The above being said this was a very well done folktale with some magic in it. I enjoyed the fairy-tale like feel of the story. Overall this was a well done folktale set in the Grisha world. I actually liked Bardugo’s Witch of Duva short story a lot better, but this one was okay. I would recommend to those who are reading the Grisha series and enjoy ironic fairytales and/or folktales. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

In Ravka, just because you avoid one trap, it doesn't mean you'll escape the next. This story is a companion folk tale to Leigh Bardugo's upcoming book, Siege and Storm, the second book in the Grisha Trilogy. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
