How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories by Holly Black
4.0
Adorable little read.
The artwork, while unexpected, was beautiful. It made this short novella much more engaging, and I loved seeing the depictions of Cardan and Jude. Even the smaller illustrations of scenery were breathtaking, and I am so pleasantly surprised they were included.
The actual stories were just fine, not overly exciting. I did really like the variations on the story of the cursed princess and her lover, and how the different versions applied to different points in Cardan’s life. Other than those, the stories were just okay, but I’m glad I finally got around to reading this.
