For What Are Butterflies Without Their Wings by Troy Onyango

neverenoughhhh's review

4.0

This was actually pretty good. I don't usually read short stories or collections like these but I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I loved Onyango's writing style and the characters were all so interesting, each story made me want a full version of it.
My favourites were probably: Whirlwind, For What are Butterflies Without Their Wings, Goodbye so long, Sunset Dreams and This Little Light of Mine
