Grounded in place, many of these stories are both unique and transporting, strong statements to the quality of fiction presented in Ecotone issues. It may be, though, that they're a more enjoyable representation when read occasionally instead of straight-through. All literary and of a similar tone and length, the collection starts to feel repetitive about two thirds of the way in, and I have to admit that I found myself getting bored at various moments as I read the last portion of the anthology...
Great stories, especially those by Stephanie Soileau, Brad Watson, and Daniel Orozco.
This book is really good! Normally with multi-author anthologies, there are a few that don't grab me and I skip them, but in this book, every one kept me eager to read. They're all very different, which creates a cool tapestry effect.
I think this is my first 5 star review. I won this book on Goodreads. It was awesome! I loved every story in it and the writing was sensational. Easily read, descriptive but not boring, wrought with feeling and really interesting stories. I am looking forward to reading more from these authors.
**I received this book as a First ReadsI got through about half of this book. That is as close to finishing it that I will get. Most of the stories were alright, but not interesting enough to keep me hooked on the book. It was a chore to get where I got.Then, I read Pointy Boots. And that was where I decided I just couldn't finish the book. I started off confused about where this book was going, and why these soldiers were coming home and ignoring their families to go dance in some stupid cowboy...
I was really, really, really torn on what rating I should give this book. I struggled over how fair it is to give a general balloon-rating to a selection of short stories by multiple different authors. In the end I was teetering between 3 and 4 stars but it lands closer to a 3 since I can only rate them as a group. I don't have much experience with short fiction. This is perhaps the 3rd or 4th book of short stories which I've attempted and I'm embarrassed to admit that one of those I didn't even...
