The Poison Eaters: And Other Stories by Holly Black

adventurous dark mysterious medium-paced

3.0

not a bad selection of short stories! i blew through this in a day and really liked the roiben and kaye (and others) feature. 

also, reading the original "coldest girl in coldtown" made me really appreciate the novel the story eventually turned into. i am dying for a sequel!

a reversal of fortune – 3.5/5
the boy who cried wolf – 2/5
the night market – 3.5/5
