"The Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic" by Leigh Bardugo; Read by Leona - a podcast by Houston Library

Inspired by myth and folklore, bestselling author Leigh Bardugo has crafted a collection of short stories filled with betrayals, revenge, sacrifice, and love. Love speaks in flowers. Truth requires thorns. Travel to a world of dark bargains struck by moonlight, of haunted towns and hungry woods, of talking beasts and gingerbread golems, where a young mermaid's voice can summon deadly storms and where a river might do a lovestruck boy's bidding but only for a terrible price. Perfect for fans familiar with the Grishaverse, or those just arriving. - adapted from School Library Journal Review.
