This was a fun read as someone who enjoys the Grishaverse and wanted more background on the world building. It’s interesting to read about different saints, both those you have seen/learned about in the novels as well as others that are new to the reader. Not necessary by any means, but a beautiful collection of short stories for the Grishaverse fan.

Loved this! I skipped one of the Saint's stories because I knew it would trigger me, but I read the rest. There's definitely some dark subject matter in this book, but I don't think that will surprise you if you've read The Grisha Trilogy.
