The Garden by Tomi Adeyemi

slow-paced

2.0

Yeah... no.  Purple prose and too little plot for me. 

The Six Deaths of the Saint by Alix E. Harrow

medium-paced

• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes

4.25

 A gorgeous short story, skillfully written and with a very satisfying ending - which is often my main complaint about short stories. It felt to me like it drew from the Crusades, with the themes of war, power and sainthood so woven together, but I may be reading too much into it.
The gem of the collection, for sure.
