Stale Air: 3.75 ⭐️
I really enjoyed Quenell’s story craft and found the siren to be quite fascinating. I just felt there was a little left to be desired—we don’t get to know why this ‘angel’ can’t heal Dad, nor did I get a sense of closure. I would have liked another page or two, at the least.
I Know Not the Names of the Gods to Whom I Pray: 2 ⭐️
I couldn’t really find a sense of place, and I get the idea is to be lost in this never ending death and bloodshed, but I still would have liked at least one scene where I felt grounded. It kind of had a grip at the end, but it still wasn’t enough for me to get into this story at all. Cool concept though.
Apate’s Children: 3 ⭐️
I had to look up the mythology behind this before I could appreciate what I was reading, but it still didn’t really fit what I think the author was trying to achieve. I think it would have been neat if Apate appeared as a haggard form of his mistress, as that would have added more layers to this story as well as pay more homage to the Apate mythology, but that’s just my thoughts on it.
Start Today!: 5 💫
This one was whack and I loved every second of it. I think it was a really fascinating concept and I would have loved to have more pages in this story, but it also is just perfect as it is. I really could picture everything going on and I found myself cringing from some of the mutilation—but that’s definitely a good thing! I want to read more from Lutz for sure.
