Reviews

[Tom · Rating 3 out of 5]

A wonderful variety of stories. There's something of a sophomore slump to be felt here as we dig into the second part of all of these worlds, but the ideas that carried the first volume are still here to do much of the heavy lifting.

Luckily the stories get better as they go! Maybe just skip the first story entirely if the idea of a parent describing his daughter's body (including her breasts for some reason) will weird you out. It weirded me out that's for sure

Stories developing nicely, interesting reading!
