A Thousand Beginnings and Endings by Elsie Chapman, Ellen Oh

4.0

I don't really like collections of short stories. I've read about one other a really long time ago and I did enjoy it but haven't been interested since. I really like Asian myths and folklore though, and this book was on sale so I thought why not! And I really enjoyed it! I liked how it had such varying stories to tell from all cultures. Some were sci-fi, some fantasy, and some more realistic, but they all had a meaning and were written well. Not a 5/5 because I just can't get fully into short stories. After I finished each my mind wandered and thought about how the story could be continued. It just felt a bit lacking, not because of the writing but because they were short. Overall 4/5, a good short story collection on Asian myths and lore :)
