Billie is finished

A Fine Magic = 3

This was a fairly weak way to finish the collection but not an awful story over all.

Red Nose Day = 2 (I would give it lower but I'm not sure if its me or the story)

I got lost and I didn't enjoy it. I only have a very vague idea of what was happeneing and even the bits I followed, I didn't get.

My Lord's Man = 4
I was going to give this 2 stars right up until the last page. I did not like the POV character or what I thought was the message being presented... I was wrong.

Sweet Pippet = 2-2.5

The long names in this were confusing and pulled me out of the story. I know why she wrote them that way it makes sense and was a clever choice but it wasn't a successful choice (for me anyway). It was OK and the POV was interesting but I didn't enjoy it. I got lost in it, and not in a good way.

Ferryman = 4
That was almost lovely, in a sad, dark kind of way.

Dedication = 4
Another vivid tale but again, I just wish I had more information.

The Wood-Queen's Quarters = 4.5
The imagery in this story was beautiful and I got truly lost in it. Less dark and gruesome than some others it was definitely more my cup of tea. My only complaint was that some information or development felt like it was missing for the character arc to truly have the impact it deserved.

Swing From The Moon = 3.5/5
I found this a bit hard to follow at first. I'm seeing a trend so far with Lanagan's short stories which is that there is an amount of world and character building that just won't ever be established and you have to be OK with this. Sometimes it works but sometimes the number of characters and complexity of these stories without that world and character building becomes confusing.

Not all Ogre = 3.5/5
What did I just read? Not sure I liked this one. It wasn't bad writing, the story just really didn't appeal to me I guess.

Singing My Sister Down = 4.5/5
I think I need to read it again as I've come away not really knowing how to feel. I definitely know that I liked it. It was weird and disconcerting, but in a good way.
