The stories within Furies are a mixed bag, as they often are with collections. So take my thoughts here with a pinch of salt. Some were really enjoyable, leaving me wanting more, while others fell a bit flat.
What I did appreciate, though, was the diversity of women and stories within the collection. Each one offers a new experience, which is rewarding in its own right. I enjoyed that
However, this variety in styles, genres, and tone does leave the collection feeling a bit disjointed. I’m not sure if that really matters, but it made the flow from one story to the other a little difficult.
