This is the second half of the Orphan's Tales story and it's just as complex, beautiful, and engrossing as the first. When I finally finished this book, I wanted to cry because I was so happy. It was everything I'd been wanting in a story for a very long time.
Victoria (YSB) -
Just as lushly written as the first book, I was initially so excited to see what would become, not only of the tattoo-eyed girl and sultan-prince boy, but also more of the lavish world that her tales created. This is a darker collection of tales and while it does include a nice conclusion, I do still have lingering curiosities and questions. Regardless, this was all in all, a wonderful and mythical addition to the tradition of fairy tales and one that I genuinely enjoyed reading. I will keep an eye out for the print version, too and keep my fingers crossed that an audio version will some day be produced.
