ginpomelo 's review for:

How to Traverse Terra Incognita by Dean Francis Alfar
4.0
adventurous emotional reflective medium-paced
Strong character development: N/A
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: N/A

There are less standout stories than Kite of Stars but as a collection of a whole it is much tighter and more fully realized. Alfar is doing something interesting here with the use of the freewheeling omniscient exposition, like an emotional camera that zooms in and out of people's feelings. My favorite story is "Remembrance."
