I really enjoyed This is How You Lose the Time War (I read it when it came out, years before Bigolas Dickolas) so I was excited when I heard that Amal El-Mohtar had her first short story collection coming out. I have often said that I much prefer single offer short story collections to anthologies because, among other things, the quality of the work is usually more consistent and there’s less tonal whiplash.
This collection was delightful and very enjoyable. Some of the stories were not to my taste, but on the whole I would recommend this collection to anyone who enjoyed her last book, The River Has Roots.
I listened to this book at 2x speed.
