Mini Review: Little Knife (Spoilers)
Happy Friday the 13th guys! Im sorry I was so late on yesterday's review so I did this one kinda early~
Tale: Little Knife
Blurb: A tidemaker tries to win the hand of the most beautiful woman in all of Ravka.
Thoughts. I love this story! I knew that when we learn whom or what Little Knife was, I can already tell.
Yeva is the most beautiful woman in all of Ravka. Though she wants the simple stuff in life, her beauty keeps her locked up.
Her father loves the attention though and when he saw the prince, he wanted Yeva to marry him.
Enters Semyon, a poor tidemaker who wanted to marry Yeva. Yet with each task that Yeva's father sets he whines as complains and ask the river, whom he calls Little Knife from the way the river moves and is seen, to help him. Which the river does and solves each task.
Towards the end, the river is done being told what to do and seeing Semyon about to take Yeva as his bride, the river shows it's true form.
I JUST LOVE THIS PART. Little Knife is done being just a tool to a grisha. It shows, in the grishaverse that a grisha may have power over the elements but even the elements are unpredictable and have their power of their own.
Little Knife says that they have the power to grant Yeva's wish, a life of her own. Little Knife calls out her father who wanted to SELL her and the prince who wanted to BUY her. But if Semyon won, he absolutely did nothing and isnt smart enough to really take care of Yeva.
Little Knife solved all the tasks and is strong enough to protect Yeva. But what won Yeva over was the choice of her own. By choosing Little Knife, she was able to be free and be loved. (And female to female love? HELL YES!)
So the themes: "Just Because You Use Something Doesn't Mean You Own It" and "If You Want To Marry Someone, Listen To Their Heart. For You Will Find Their Trueselves And Their Wishes."
(And can we talk that Mother Nature is a force of her very own too?)
