The End and Other Beginnings: Stories from the Future by Veronica Roth
3.0
I mostly enjoyed these short stories, but some fell flat.
“Inertia” was excellent and address depression in an important way.
“The Spinners” was not good. I didn’t care about the characters and I got really annoyed when I realized we were basically reading Stephanie Meyer’s “The Host.”
“Hearken” was okay. I liked the final message about our lives and how they intertwine.
“Vim and Vigor” was okay. Too teeny for me, maybe?
“Armored Ones” made me happy because it returned to Thuvhe/Shotet and some amazing, familiar characters.
“The Transformationist” was pretty good. It addressed some important issues around abuse and repressing who we are, but the characters and topics weren’t done justice because it was crammed in to a short story.
