Zwei oder drei Geschichten mochte ich, viele fand ich mittelmäßig und ein paar richtig schlecht. Das meiste war mir zu konzeptlastig, "Ich habe ein Buch über die Mythen und Sagen von Island oder Australien gelesen und mir voll viele Gedanken gemacht!" Aber so ist das halt mit Anthologien, und in anderen Bewertungen hier werden gerade die Geschichten gelobt, die ich am wenigsten mochte.

I just had a really difficult time getting into many of the stories in this book. Most did not grab my attention, which is necessary for short stories I feel like. There were one or two that were enjoyable, but the rest were not.
