bananafreckles's review against another edition
4.0
These short stories are all astonishing and dreamy. Each one feels so important and powerful, and I know I'll be re-reading this book over and over in the future. The language and imagery is so beautiful, and each of the worlds built are fully realized in such a small space. It's magic.
The only drawback for me is that some of the stories are so dreamlike it was easy for me to set them down after even a paragraph or a page, which is why it took me so long to get through the book. But I do love the dreaminess. This is a winner.
