4.0

An interesting, ecclectic collection of tales whose cumulative effect is delicious. The slowly increasing depth of understanding & atmosphere is a bit like wading into a pool- you're aware of the change at first, but as you become more immersed in each story you lose the sense of seperateness between yourself and the elements you're encountering. Suddenly you're afloat in another world and eagerly looking for clues and landmarks so that you can learn more about it. The last story comes too quickly- you emerge with a gasp, a wrench, & a scattering of drops, wishing the journey was longer.
