Man, that took forever. I don't know why.

3.5 stars. I don't think I was able to concentrate enough to enjoy it to its fullest as I felt a bit sick.

3.5 IS FOR THE LKH AND PB STORIES ONLY.
This is an anthology and as usual, I only read the stories by authors I know first. I don't usually read these since short stories are not long enough for me to feel satisfied and even though, each one feels like and ending. So my interest in the others drops dramatically. I'll get to them eventually when I feel like it.

I don't even know where to begin. This is all heart breaking and fascinating. And all this earth magic and they've only scratched the surface. I had to put this down for a few months because the way the orogenes were being treated plus the way people were reacting to survive the beginning of the season viscerally mimicked what was happening in the real world around me. It hurt too much to read. But coming back I was once again in awe. This was not a happy book. There were small bright spots but this is dark and decidedly unhappy. I respect that. And want to read the rest.

That was interesting. And no sex. Its been awhile since that happened. This was 90% case-focused. There's some dark conversations in here. I'll write something more coherent after I get some sleep.
