What a nice surprise this one was. I've re-listened to "The Girl Who Didn't Know Fear" three times or more, trying to get a better handle on it. Did not care for "The Game of Smash and Recovery," nor the voice acting for that one. Did not think Patton Oswalt was a good choice for "Skinder's Veil" but I liked the story. I read up a bit on each fairytale after the story inspired by it, but fairy tales are always completely nuts and often inscrutable to me, so I have much still to try to understand. I will be looking for some words from the author. I might also listen to a few of these a few more times before returning to the library. Will probably buy this one, as well. Really, REALLY liked it. Lots of dreamlike imagery and queerness.
