So well written, and kept my attention all the way through. The only negative thing I can say about this short story is that I WANTED MORE. As a lover of all things science-fiction, I thoroughly enjoyed Small Graces.

Another short story. I love M. Pax's writing. I even like her story lines. This one had me involved until the end.
And that's just the problem. It ends far too soon. I can't wait to read some of her longer works.
The nicest part of these short stories is they allow that 'treading water' time between books I need to review. There was a need to cleanse the reading palate.
I have been reading Ms. Pax's stories from Smashwords (mostly for free or $.99) which means I read them on my Moon Reader Pro app. I love this app because I can use the text-to-speech feature that keeps me focused and I can vary the speed and pitch to push my reading speed while staying engaged.
Check out M. Pax when you get the chance.

Another short story from Mary Pax that she has up for free, and like Plantgirl, it's a fantastically written story. I think it was a tad too short - a good complaint for any writer I'm sure - and the ending sort of leaves you really wanting to know what happens next.
Well done, I look forward to the novels coming out later this year.

When Grace’s pod crash lands in an unknown planet, she is met by aliens. I was enchanted by the vividness of this story; the description of the planet and the aliens was exceptional. Just like with “Plantgirl” by M. Pax, I can imagine this as a book that shows how Grace lives in this strange planet.

This story was a very fun read, with a totally surprise ending. I’m not giving it away. You can really feel the character and feel for her also. This little piece of flash fiction did just what it is supposed to do. Thanks M. Pax!

This was a great short read, love the fact that you think one thing...then BAM-a whole different outcome:-)

It wasn't so much a story as a vignette. It was interesting and then... poof! the end. ;_;

A well written little piece of speculative fiction that was as much science-fiction as it was magical. It is always the small things that matter.
