Status Updates From Las doce moradas del viento...

Didn't realise this was a single collection split into two volumes, so I neglected to pick up the first when I saw them both at a second-hand store for a couple bucks each a year or two ago. Splitting the book seems kind of pointless, especially when this one isn't even 140 pages. Oh well. Whatever the case, the first story was great, the second sucked, and the third was pretty good. More thoughts to come, I guess...

She's good. She casts atmosphere and star dust like a wizard casts illusions. And as a bonus, each story has a short intro about writing it, and writing in general. A small gem of inspiration.

Reading this for The Ones Who Walked Away from Olalas, but I'm struck by the power of the first two stories I read. She's even stronger in short fiction than she is with novels.
