Honeycomb by Joanne M. Harris

5.0

A wonderful book only slightly hurt by the rather rushed ending. This is a collection of parables and fables. Many are independent, but the rest weave through stories of repeating characters. The main one is the Lacewing King. Some of the shorter chapters/stories are the best and there's a tongue planted firmly in cheek with a number of them.

Also, I'd be remiss not to mention Charles Vess, the illustrator. The work throughout the book is well done, mainly black & white, but some lovely color panels.

It's a 4.5 and worth rounding up.
