Four short stories from the world of TJ Klune‘s Tales of Verania series. I haven‘t read it, but I sure want to after reading this. This is definitely for adults. There is plenty of swearing and it gets a bit spicy in places. If you‘ve read anything by Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, or Alexis Hall you‘ll be fine with this. This is not at all what I was expecting from TJ Klune, honestly. This is no Cerulean Sea. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

GingerAntics I laughed through the entire first story. Ru Paul could have also narrated that one and it would have been equally brilliant. The second story echoed a single line from The House in the Cerulean Sea, that was pretty cute. The third story referenced TBBT (obscurely) and then Home Alone. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 4d

GingerAntics I couldn‘t help laughing when I got to those parts. The fourth (last) story is my absolute favourite, and it‘s also the only story that exists within the canon of the original series. #TJKlune #FairytalesFromVerania #shortstories #spicy 🌶️ #snarky #sweet 4d

Fairytales From Verania | Tj Klune

As a book with a 4.5 rating, with THIS as the only written review… on top of what I know about TJ Klune‘s beautiful writing, 😂🤣😂 oh my god I can‘t wait to read this!
(*I think Karen means INappropriate foul language… can‘t wait to hear it!)

Texreader I sadly object to the stereotypes of Karens. Karens of the world need to unite… ☺️ 4d

GingerAntics @Texreader that is fair. I feel so bad for the nice, lovely Karens in the world. 4d

julesG TJ Klune's Wolfsong series gets quite graphic. Obscene? Not sure, I have a high tolerance threshold. Some people, expecting closed door romance and flowery prose, might be offended. 4d

julesG Klune excels at both. Read the book and tell us your verdict 4d

TrishB Inappropriate to whom? How do people get to judge that for other people. 4d

GingerAntics @TrishB inappropriate to someone who expects that Klune can only do Cerulean Sea. There is a lot of swearing, but I didn‘t find it “inappropriate.” It‘s got some spice, but less than Sarah J. Maas or Rebecca Yarros. The final story is the only story that is canonical to the accompanying series, and it had none of that, but was actually quite sweet. 4d

GingerAntics @TrishB I laughed through the entire first story. Michael Lesley did an amazing job narrating, but it could have been narrated by Ru Paul to similar effect. That was probably also the most “crass” of the stories. It was almost like shock and awe comedy to really kick things off. 😂 4d

GingerAntics @julesG I may have to read the Wolfsong series. I‘m also thinking I‘m going to have to read the series this is a spin off of. The one story that was canonical to that series was so beautiful and wonderful, it‘s made me want to read more. 4d

vlwelser Ooooh! Appropriate foul language! Sounds interesting. 4d

But, given their track record, even given a chance, WILL they learn anything? Of all the chances they have has thus far, HAVE they learned anything? Part of me wants to tell Lucy to have at it! If the “anti-Christ” can want to change people‘s minds so they will be more accepting of others, that‘s probably pointing at a problem with people never learning from their own pasts than a need to be given a chance to learn something new. Just saying.

This is my biggest pick of the year. Hands down. This book is SO poignant and even more beautiful. I laughed, a lot. I cried happy tears, a lot. I‘m not a crier, so that‘s really saying something. I inhaled this book. I couldn‘t stop reading. I couldn‘t stop listening. Read this book with some tissues and an understanding that anyone who can see or hear you are going to think you‘re crazy (and that‘s okay)! It‘s absolutely worth it.
