A review by typewriter

adventurous

• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

Favourite Stories:

• Codename: Delphi - riveting, and I really want to read more from this perspective. The action was fast-paced and the characters were intriguing.
• The Only Death in the City - this felt poetic and reminded me of A Memory Called Empire because everyone in this city is obsessed with the past in the same way the civilization in the aforementioned novel are.
• Exhalation - this read like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in tone; the narrator's enthusiasm and joy for discovery is contagious.
• The Day the World Turned Upside Down - the writing was good and heartfelt, but the ending was a bit weird for me. This is likely just a me thing though.

Honourable Mention:

• Observations About Eggs from the Man Sitting Next to Me on a Flight from Chicago, Illinois to Cedar Rapids, Iowa - this made me laugh.
