Review of "The orphan's tales." on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
A beautiful, surprising, and strangely familiar set of tightly-linked stories. In addition to new ones, the stories include many standard motifs and creatures from fairy tales and mythology, but they're combined in inventive ways. It feels like this is a retelling of stories that I've internalized, but they're (as far as I know) actually new.
