4.0
was going to be a 5 star read for me, but the new tales section kind of lowered it to 4.
babalola shone when it came to writing mythical stories with otherwordly elements, imo. the first tale is probably my favourite, followed by siya's. the contemporary, modern romances also worked for me as they were well-known tropes kept short and sweet, so it wasn't repetitive.
(also, i'm torn between wishing some of them were a full book, and thinking they are perfect the way they are already).
