difficult to review short story collections, but on the whole i really enjoyed this one. the writing style was gorgeous, and most stories delivered in terms of plot/atmosphere/characters. for me, a couple of stories nearer the beginning of the collection seemed less fleshed out or ended abruptly, whereas others, even when not necessarily resolving at the end, were still satisfying. all in all though, a pretty great book! 

my favourite stories: milk blood heat, the hearts of our enemies, necessary bodies, thicker than water, exotics, an almanac of bones
