Although I'm not usually convinced I should invest my time in short stories, there have been a handful of authors in the last year or so who have changed my mind, and Sachdeva is now one of them. She's out-of-this-world (ha!) competent and certainly an author to watch. Her ability knows no limit of genre or period setting. She shows off her skill by flawlessly moving between both throughout her collection. In my eyes, the indicator of a great writer is one who simply can't be pigeon-holed by such labels. I'm so glad to have picked this up and held each story on its own, with plenty of space between the last & the next, and plenty of time to consider of masterfully Sachdeva painted the characters into their endings. Loved it.
