"You can't choose to opt-out. If you don't tell the story, others will fill in the gaps for you." St Louis
'Rob' made me cry and I couldn't come back to this for months since I was such an emotional wreck. This was both gorgeous, comforting and incredibly heartbreaking.
"I think I was born free from anything and then stories accumulated on me and some of them turned out to be incorrect." St Louis
I think this works better as a physical book where you can put it down after each story and come back to the next when you're ready. As an 11 hour audio with some repeat narrators when your on a tight library loan, it was a little much.
I wished the stories were linked a bit better thematically so the themes naturally followed through. Some stories I wanted a lot more from since they were so good, others not so much.
