I received this as an audiobook arc from Libby so thank you to Libby and the author/publisher.
I think there are some short stories within this collection that are fabulous, but this is a very bizarre collection. None of the stories have cohesive strong enough with each other for them to really make sense. The book is pitched as a folklore-esq collection all rooted in mythology and while that may be true, some of these are contemporary and science fiction which I found jarring when switching between stories.
The first few stories I wasn't as into but around the midway point I found the stories a lot stronger. I would be curious to see what this author may release in the future!
