Our view

“The Too-Clever Fox” is a neat little fable from Leigh Bardugo’s Ravka, told like a folk tale with a dark edge and a lesson at its close. Its hero is a fox with more wit than looks, easy to root for as he slips out of trap after trap. The twist is easy to guess for some readers, who still enjoy how it is revealed. It was written to accompany “Siege and Storm”.
