White Cat, Black Dog by Kelly Link

adventurous challenging dark emotional fast-paced

4.5

It’s hard to rate a collection of short stories because they can be pretty varied but I genuinely enjoyed most of these! Loosely based on fairytales, Link uses the structure to tease out something more meaningful. Dark & tense at times but also funny and warm at others. I liked The White Cat’s Divorce; Prince Hat Underground; The Lady and the Fox; and The White Road. A lot of people praising Skinder’s Veil which yes it is excellent but can’t say I enjoyed the experience.
