This book fills your heart with all the myths, folklore and fairy-tales you could possibly wish for. The Language of Thorns is a beautiful collection of midnight tales and dangerous magic of the Grishaverse. Leigh Bardugo is an amazing fantasy mastermind who will make you feel like a child listening to bedtime stories that transport you to a world of dark bargains struck by moonlight, haunted towns and hungry woods, talking beasts and gingerbread golems, mermaids who summon deadly storms and magical rivers that do a lovestruck boy's bidding for a terrible price. I absolutely loved each and every story and they had me completely captivated and reminded me of the Grimm fairy-tales. Overall, I highly recommend reading this beauty and immersing yourself in Bardugo's incredible stories.
