It's so rare to find a book as beautiful as this. Everything about it is gorgeous; the illustrations, the prose, the plot, the characters. Each story is so different from the other two and yet all three deserve 5 stars in their own ways.

The emotions were expressed perfectly, and Taylor is a master at writing. And it was all so dark and captivating that they didn't feel like short stories at all because the world-building was so deep and expertly crafted.

I can't even decide which of the stories is my favourite, because they're all my favourite in different ways, for different reasons. Goblin Fruit was stuffed with beautifully dreamy prose and the end came as a complete surprise to me, Spicy Little Curses was so well described that the scenery seemed like an extra character in a cast of already incredibly interesting and memorable creatures and the plot was so fascinating that I thought about it for days, and Hatchling was utterly enthralling for its epic story, slow plot reveal yet fast-pace action scenes and, best of all, the tantalising star-crossed lovers.
