Miranda Boers –
I’m a fan of Victoria Pearson’s stories and collections, but this one is the best one so far. Some superb stories and tangled up fairy tales in this book.
Favourites are ‘Blue and Green’, which is a sci-fi dystopian tale about what might be our future if our planet dries up. ”Comfort and Protection’ is another sci-fi where you really have to be careful what you pray for. ‘It is Written’ is a perfect new age, modern twist on Cinderella and what would happen if her fairy godmother was much younger. But the one that stood out the most for me was ‘Terms and Conditions’ which will make you wonder what you are really signing when you click through the accept button when buying something online. Really unique and dark – I especially liked the ticking of the clock – you have to read it to understand.
I could actually rave about them all individually, but those four were the stand out tales for me. And I also liked the micro poetry between stories.
There’s so much to read and enjoy in this collection. I definitely recommend picking up a copy.
