Status Updates From Tide of Shadows and Other S...

Think the writing is really good. I believe that the stories are very well done.

I found "Of Parnassus..." to be pretty funny, even though it was intentionally on the nose.

"The Colour of the Sky..." is an impressive piece of flash fiction and, honestly, should be the start of a novel.

I'm unfortunately very annoyed with the after story essays, which come off too congratulatory. I wish they weren't there because it might be retroactively coloring my opinions.

I think I liked this one less than the first story simply because of my tastes veering away from sci fi in recent years. It's also a little too vague for me.

(Using percents. 5 stories, 20% each). "A Night for Spirits and Snowflakes" is a very grim but contemplative introduction to Moher's prose. I see the opening vista of Kingdom of Heaven as the basic setting. Hard ground and hard thoughts.

Applause for the notes on 'A Night for Spirits and Snowflakes'. Makes for interesting reading presenting criticism of your own work. Honestly done, too.

A pretty good collection with a lot of potential and interesting thoughts on the process.
