Even That Wildest Hope by Seyward Goodhand
3.0
'Even That Wildest Hope' delves deep into the realms of fantasy within this collection. Comprising of 10 short stories, they are wonderfully varied, ranging from angels and mysterious creatures and wax girls. This was not a collection of happy stories, but instead a showcase of dangerous and destructive characters that are developed well within these stories, some of which are remarkably short.
All of them left me slightly unsettled, and the strong sense that Goodhand's writing is both sophisticated and quirky.
I'll definitely be interested in anything further from her, and would be interested to see her foray into full-length fiction. For me, this collection - although interesting - was not my typical cup of tea, hence the 3 stars, but they are still worth a read for anyone who likes fantasy.
