- premium: True

- content:
A folkloric collection of stories about saints from the Grishaverse. In no particular order, Bardugo presents 28 short and fantastical, fictional saint stories. Some read like origin stories, explaining why that saint is celebrated and for whom they are a patron. For example, Sankta Anastasia is named patron saint of the sick after saving her village from a plague by allowing the ill to drink her blood, which contained healing properties. Other stories, such as those of Sankt Valentin and Sankta Alina of the Fold, are specific accounts, with saints' offering glimpses into their influence and power over people's lives. The journey to sainthood for these colorful characters ranges from unjustly tragic (Sankta Lizabeta of the Roses was executed by quartering when she had no answers for a frustrated general), to humorously improbable (Sankt Lukin the Logical, patron saint of politicians, offers advice even after being beheaded). Presented without much context, these tales will primarily appeal to those already familiar with the Grisha series. The final entry, though, about the unnamed Saint of the Book, who cryptically advocates for these stories, may entice readers to fully enter the Grishaverse. Zollinger, an artist experienced in painting biblical and historical imagery, provides artistic dimension to these supplemental folktales with enchanting, full-color illustrations that evoke medieval books of hours. Ethnic diversity in the saints is implied by the artwork. An extra treat for invested Bardugo fans. (Fantasy. 12-adult)

Gr 7 Up-A look into the mythos of Bardugo's Grishaverse, a land rife with magic and folklore. The book, which appears in the pages of Shadow and Bone and as a prop in the Netflix show of the same name, features short stories detailing the miracles, mysteries, and martyrdom of various saints. Zollinger's beautiful illustrations accompany each tale, setting the tone and showing readers romanticized depictions of the saints, such as Sankta Maradi, patron saint of impossible love, helping two star-crossed lovers find each other in the dark; little Sankta Marya of the Rock, the patron saint of those who are far from home, saving her family from a collapsing mine; the enigmatic Saint of the Book, collecting the stories and putting them in the correct order; and many more. Longtime fans of the Grishaverse books will be excited by this series tie-in and newcomers may find this an interesting entry point into the novels. VERDICT Recommended for libraries with students who love fantasy, folklore, and Bardugo.-Ness Shortley, Horton M.S., Pittsboro, NC
