The Life and Times of Alavira the Great as Written by Titos Pavlou and Reviewed by Two Lifelong Friends 5* Two friends are reviewing books they buddy reads. Maria chose this series ahead of the 3rd book being published. Lefteris initially doesn't like Book 2 and 3, and their friendship falls apart. The publisher drop the series, 10 years later Book 4 comes out and they rekindle their friendship. Adorable.

Time loop for the day I die: not rating poetry, but I like the repetition (his life flashing before his eyes, maybe?)

The Island with the Animals: 2* Brianna is a (therapist?) during lockdown, ears about the game "The Island with the Animals" from clients (a twisted version of Animal Crossing?). She tries it, reluctantly traps and skins a zebra. Not sure what the point of the story is? That we all did weird shit during lockdown?

Red-Coded and Weary: not rating poetry, but I get the point of this one, I think (Red Riding Hood ends up in court, consent vs self-defense)

Unbury: 3* A man digs out a woman in the wood, decides she is his wife. Doesn't treat her super well, "shares" her with his friend, tries to get her to reveal her true nature. She murders him and 4 others, then goes back into the wood to sleep. There is a line about buying pheromones that took me out of the story, that doesn't fit.
