really liked it

Great collection, gorgeous covers. Most of these stories were very funny and enjoyable to read. I love meandering narrators.

Four stars because collections always get four stars, unless the novels are top notch. Half of them were.

18.0% "9/29 finished Sinai Tapestry. Disorienting but maybe intentionally so because there are many characters and the story spans centuries and there's generations of peoples and sometimes they disappear for awhile. I had trouble keeping everybody straight.

But also, fantastic. It got better and better and the ending was phenomenal."
