Really enjoyed ‘The Covenant’ and ‘Memory of Water’. ‘Trial Witch’ was okay and the rest I found forgettable. From what I’ve read online ‘Terminal Boredom’ is a much better example of Suzuki’s strengths so if I do return to her writing or were to recommend an introduction to her writing I’d say skip this collection of stories and read ‘Terminal Boredom’ instead.
