The Book High
I've always said I'll read anything, and I really do mean that. Lately M/M romance has had my interest, but fantasy and sci-fi were my first loves and will always hold a special place in my heart. I also love histories and biographies.
I've been a huge fan of Ms. Derr's for a while now. And I think this collection is just further proof of her genius. She's able to infuse more joy and magic and hope into a story that can't be more than 1,000 words than some authors can in 100,000.All of these short-short stories were beautiful. With perfectly happy endings for characters who perfectly deserved them. There were several I'd love to see in a longer form, but getting to read them at all was a delight.
