I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these tales. They were engrossing, fun, and interesting reads. I also thought they were ordered really well.
The Firework Maker's Daughter - 5 stars
A nice little heartwarming story. Just what I needed.
I Was a Rat! or The Scarlet Slippers - 5 stars
A great satire of so many aspects of humanity, especially media and political spin, along with a lovely storyline of found family love.
Clockwork or All Wound Up - 4 stars
I really enjoyed the asides in this one, and had a good little chuckle at a few of them. The story actually got pretty scary at times too. The ending/culmination was pretty predictable, but still another nice little story.
The Scarecrow and His Servant - 5 stars
A really great story, I devoured it in one sitting. Great way to end the collection.
