Jay Wagemans’s Reviews > Tales of the Peculiar > Status Update

Pigeons: I had a hard time with this story. It doesn't feel that peculiar and I can't relate with the pigeons. It's difficult to see them as proud and vengeful for me.
Lavinia: Very peculiar and awfully amazing. Again, really original and I enjoyed both endings.
Locust: Very weird and interesting. I loved learning more about peculiars in general and it had a heartwarming ending. I cried...

Cannibals: it's lovely how the author can make something 'horrid' so respectable and likable. Easier to relate to. It's an unexpected story with the peculiarity of a happy ending with a twist.
Princess: feels a little unfinished.
Ymbryne: a real fairytale, brave and beautiful, a must-read.
Cocobolo: unexpected and beautifully wonderous. Original, unlike anything I've ever seen.
