A review by wanderlustlover
Lightspeed Magazine, January 2018 by John Joseph Adams
3.0
Summer 2019 (Hugo Award Nominee 2019 - Best Short Story);
While I was not overly impressed or in love with this one, I was very much driven to follow the plight of the character we are watching (which is very much not the narrator we're in the point of view of). I've always had a knack for liking to see how different worlds handle magic, and what the cost might be.
I loved the recurring question in the removal. Was it gone just from his sight, or gone from all of space and time? It's a beautiful and chilling thing to drive someone with that power, and conscious, and lack of cruelty, mad.
