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.

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.
