Book Review: The Six Deaths of The Saint by Alix E. Harrow

After seeing it pop up on my TikTok fyp a few times, I decided I had to check out The Six Deaths of The Saint by Alix E. Harrow; because, after all why shouldn’t I when it is only a 30-page short story?

And by Jove, was I glad that I gave it a go. This little story packs quite the punch. It’s a modern chivalric romance with an undercurrent of fantasy.

It asks questions of destiny, duty and love. Would you sell your soul to be remembered? Or is pure unflinching love enough to sustain you?

The language is spellbinding and will have you underlining passage after passage. By the close of this 30-page wonder, you will shed a tear and perhaps be compelled to start straight over or stare into space, coming to terms with the story before you can finally continue with life again.
