A review by hb_bookworm
Orange World and Other Stories by Karen Russell

5.0

I was caught off guard by how much I enjoyed this. each of these stories takes you by surprise, presenting a world very much like our own, with key differences that everyone accepts. the first two stories were good build-ups to this type of story, and it gets weirder and weirder as the collection progresses. normally I list my favorites in any story collection but I'm struggling to do so here as I really enjoyed them all. if I had to choose, I'd say Bog Girl, Black Corfu, The Gondoliers, and Orange World were my favorites. I highly recommend the audiobook - I really think the voices of the narrators add a lot to each story. Definitely excited to read more Karen Russell soon!
