As much as I love Laini Taylor, this book just didn't do it for me. It was unique and original as heck that's for sure, but I still found myself a little put off by these short stories. They were odd and revolved around very fantastical and magic filled tellings ripe with demons and curses and very Tim Burton-esque, which is something I have never been fond of. To each their own, but personally it just wasn't my cup if tea.
