The Six Deaths of the Saint by Alix E. Harrow
4.0
challenging dark emotional mysterious reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A complex and lyrical short story that packs a lot into its 29/30 pages. It was particularly effective and the best of the Into Shadow Collection so far (no. 3). There's something about the author's writing though that doesn't connect for me (having read Starling House) so whilst I can appreciate the beauty and horror on offer here I don't think I'll read further works.
