I did not like this 1st story at all
it's so obvious the author wanted to write an action movie inspired "badass" main character, but instead we got an emotionless, egotistical, annoying bastard - I didn't think I would barely get teough 20 pgs and hate it bc of ONE character
plottwists weren't plottwisting, plot wasn't plotting, mythology wasn't exploring, world wasn't building, scary wasn't scary
Story no.1 3/10

Liked it a lot, I likes different perspectives, I feel like the world building was there, interesting characters, would love to see this as a novel, short story doesn't give us enough time to dive into the complexity of the characters, their relationships, backstories, etc. (sve se osjeća nedorađeno i površno, ali samo zato jer 20 str. nije dovoljno za sve doraditi)
predictable plottwist, bit odd end
