Instead of Three Wishes: Magical Short Stories by Megan Whalen Turner
4.0
This was a delightful book of short stories. I read them in between classes at school, or when I got finished with my in class assignment. I also read a couple before I went to bed at night. It was very nice to have something short enough to squeeze in my, otherwise too busy for a novel schedule, but still long enough to be enjoyable. Here are my ratings on each of the short stories within. These ratings are based solely on my own personal taste and how much I enjoyed them. It could be drastically different for many other readers.
A Plague of Leprechaun - 4.5 stars (Delightful!)
Leroy Roachbane - 3 stars (Fun one.)
Factory - 5 stars (Intriguing.)
Aunt Charlotte and the NGA Portraits - 5 stars (It was on the long side, but the story was rather lush and imaginative.)
Instead of Three Wishes - 3.5 stars (It was humorous, but wasn't quite as interesting as I hoped.)
The Nightmare - 2 stars (I just didn't know what to think by the end of this one.)
The Baker King - 2.5 stars (There were interesting ideas, and the start of something bigger, but it didn't seem quite fulfilled.)
