The Too-Clever Fox by Anna and Elena Balbusso
Siege and Storm comes out today (!) by the marvelous and creative Leigh Bardugo, and while I’m waiting patiently to get my hands on a copy of the much talked-about sequel to Shadow and Bone, I’ve devoured the novella that Tor Books released today to celebrate, called The Too-Clever Fox (which you can read online for free). It’s a companion folk tale to Siege and Storm, in the same vein as Bardugo’s earlier short story, The Witch of Duva. What a fantastic way to add texture to an already captivating world! It certainly whetted my apetite for more Ravka, and I love the cover illustrations by the Balbusso sisters. Pure magic…

So exciting!! Can’t wait to read this!
It’s great! I kind of wish she’d release a whole book of her Ravkan folktales…
