Review: Book Of Enchantments

Book Of Enchantments by Patricia C. Wrede

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I'm really between three and four stars on this one. It was a fun, quick read, but I always have mixed feelings about short stories. I get torn between enjoying the mystery of making up my own context into which I can put the quick glimpse of the world the author's showing me, and desiring the author to do the work for me and give me more! There were several bittersweet and even downright sad stories in this lot, which were worth a read, but a little unexpected (to me) from [a:Patricia C. Wrede|36122|Patricia C.

Happily, some of the stories were quite light and cheerful! Frying pan of DOoooOOOoooOOOOOOM!!!
