This collection was quite a ride. There were many messy people, places, and things throughout. Oftentimes, a story was a character study set in a world with peculiarities which themselves could hold an ocean's depth of story behind them. I was unsure of things at first, but honestly, I expect that a reread could bump it up to a five-star rating. There's just so much to unpack; it would take a very close reading, like studying scripture.
My favorites of the bunch were the first and final stories: "Summer People" and "Light," respectively.
