Just Finished: Salt Wine
I wanted to like this. I did. Cause I love The Last Unicorn (also written by Peter S. Beagle) but it was just so hard to read.
The actual plot was interesting. But the actual writing was rubbish. Too many words that made no sense cause he was trying to write like a Pirate.

Just Finished: Magritte's Secret Agent
Right. So was this good? Yes. Do I know where the Secret Agent came into play? No. I'm not even sure who Magritte is.
had an interesting story though. Got a little graphic there for a moment but yeah... other wise it was okay

Just Finished: Urchins, While Swimming
This was hauntingly beautiful. New fav, this one. It was done so well, and while it was bittersweet, it was perfect. Would 100% read this again

Just finished: Forever, Miss Tapekwa County
This one was good. It was dark, you weren't entirely sure what was happening and when it did happen... ooohhh boy. I felt bad for her, I don't think she realized what exactly it was that she did.

Just Finished: The Corridors of the Sea
This one was weird.
I liked it.
I wish the hero hadn't died, cause i kinda liked him. There were a lot of parts that were dry and a bit boring but once it picked up it was great!

Just finished: Letter to a Body on the Cusp of Drowning
This one had a lot of little stories in it. It got a bit confusing with the pronouns after a while, but i think that was because Kit was rather confused himself.
I did enjoy it though. All the different tales, Kit's anguish and confusion. Ambiguous ending, but good nonetheless

Just Finished: A Good Husband
Ohhhh, I liked this one a lot. Maybe not my ultimate favourite but I enjoyed this one.
The writing was quite poetic, and I liked how this one ended, it had a wonderful ending! Very very happy that Kitty got a happy ending at the end, and the right person died.

Just finished: The Nebraskan and the Nereid
I have mixed feeling about this one.
On the one hand i was rather interested in what was going on, but on the other hand i did not like the Nebraskan, and I'm pretty pissed off that his Nereid died in the end. I mean... why did that have to happen?
I know not all stories need to have a happy ending, but come on.

Just finished: The Mermaid Game
This one was interesting. I liked where it went. The pain this character was feeling... it was so much that even I could feel it. And then I could feel it when it got sapped out of him. This was just... this one was really good.

Wooo, this one was good. Haunting and beautiful and while I didn't quite like the end, I got it! It needed to happen

Just Finished: The Mermaids Singing Each to Each
This one was hard to read. The plot I mean. It was rough. Everything about this short story was rough.
i wanted more mermaids and less... whatever it was I just read
