There was a time when the woods near Duva ate girls - or so the story goes. But it's just possible that the danger may be a little bit closer to home. This story is a companion folk tale to Leigh Bardugo's debut novel, Shadow and Bone.

The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

* I purchased this short audiobook from www.audible.com

It is rare that I find an author that I enjoy enough to seek out all of their other published works. Leigh Bardugo is just such an author.

Her debut novel, entitled "SHADOW AND BONE" was the first book in the Grisha Trilogy.

This is a short folk tale that is the companion to SHADOW AND BONE. Despite it's short length it is an entertaining tale.

They say that girls should avoid the woods around Duva. They say that the woods eat girls who wander there. Is there a monster or a witch in the woods? You'll be surprised and delighted to find out who is the culprit.

The narrator is the same one used in the Grisha trilogy which offers the listener a sense of continuity and she does a wonderful job.

I rate both the narration and the story as 5 out of 5 stars.

A short but enthralling folk tale of the Grisha

It's a typical witch of the wilds kind of story, though not haggish in the least. I found it to be a good little intro/side story.

Nice little intro to the series

Gave this a try as it was on sale. Overall was pretty good and easy quick listen. Would recommend to anyone who wanted this.

Haunting

A very pleasant departure from the hours long works I usually listen to. Brings back memories of the Hansel and Gretel fairytale, but is a completely unique story in itself. So nice I listened twice.

Reminiscent of The Brothers Grimm

This is thrillingly chilling! This twisty tale will lure you in with it's gore and darkly dangerous atmosphere. The end was mind bending. No one sets the stage and introduces the players quite like Leigh Bardugo. This is a masterpiece that will stay with you. There were a few times when I knew what was coming, only to have everything flipped upside down.
