Seven Years from Home 5 stars. Interesting sci fi, good world building, some character development. I liked it. I think it’s a very effective short story

Lord Dunsany's Teapot .5 stars. Does nothing for me

Blessings 2 stars. Super short so not much time for development. Liked the ending. Do you own thing bitch!

Seven 4 stars. Men are stupid, clay and pottery is cool.

Commonplaces 1 star. Wife feels better after cheating? Why would I like that? I’m not target audience, as I’m not a huge Sherlock fan. This is for hard core fans of the classic stories with working knowledge of what happens when. Does nothing for me

Spinning silver short story 4 stars. It had the exact same start as the novel, from what I can recall. Ending is kind of abrupt about face for starek. I think one of the most interesting things about this is thinking about how Novik‘s mind works. I wonder how much of the world and characters she had in her head as she wrote the short version

Buried deep 4 stars. Greek myth is always a check. Ariadne is quite likable, and she tells off her asshole dad. Works for me

Vici 2 stars. Didn’t do anything for me, didn’t like any of the characters.

After hours 4 stars. Really like the scholomance world. Anisha Dadia is so great as narrator, as in the trilogy. She has big Hermione energy

Araminta, or, The Wreck of the Amphidrake was probably 3.5 stars for me. Pirates, regency era; check, check. Reminded me a bit of Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall.
