Art in Nature by Tove Jansson
reflective
medium-paced
4.25
There is a strong possibility that if this collection had been by anyone else, I might have rated it higher, but because it was by Jansson, who is one of my favorite authors, I just WANTED TO LOVE IT MORE.
Short-story collections are often hit-or-miss for me. There were stories here that I loved, but there were also a few that fell flat for me.
I mean, this is definitely me wringing my hands over rating this ONLY four stars instead of five, which is NOT A BAD rating. I just wasn't as incandescently in love with this as I wanted to me. A lot of not terribly likable characters with not quite enough charm to balance it out, I think.
