The Demon in the Wood by Leigh Bardugo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

That was it? I NEED more!!!



I am pleased that there is a short story about The Darkling's past and I hope there would be more. His life was tragic. Living in an era were Grisha were in hunted down, always in hiding , moving from one place to another . His mother was ambitious, beautiful and ruthless but in this book we get to see more how much she really loves him.

He closed his eyes. "I`m sorry."
She gave him the barest shake, forcing him to look at her. "I'm not. Do you understand me? I would burn a thousand villages, sacrifice a thousand lives to keep you safe. It would be us on that pyre if you hadn`t thought quickly."

In the end he was just a boy who wanted to enjoy life, to make friends and leave a mark on the world before he leaves it.
