Also, they shoot a cat. The attempt at charm is via horrible stereotypes. My jaw hurts from grinding my teeth so much.

The narrator was replaced for this last installment of what was a very enjoyable series. She performs the male roles, all of them, in the same voice, with no inflection, in stentorian tones that sound like a Dalek had a baby with a Nazi officer from an old timey movie. If the book were about Daleks or WW2 that would be great, but it kind of ruins the fantasy of alluring, charming, gorgeous fae.

As narrators for stories by and (primarily) about women. Enough is really enough already.

Horrific, based on true history, the telling is as bleak as the landscape, and as gripping as a witch hunt. Take a deep breath, but don't pass this one by.

3.5. The story was very original and well told up until the very last chapter. At that point it was like spoon-feeding a message, which I think that any semi-intelligent reader could have understood by themselves. And had the author ended the story at the next-to-last chapter it would have left us thinking: probably thinking that we know what happened but at the same time leaving some room for human variance, which is what the whole point was to begin with. And so, the last chapter with its hitting you over the head with a bat type of messaging ruined what was until that point a pretty solid story.

I honestly can't tell if there was a point to all of this, but it seems that the goal was to get into Nadine's story, which is no interesting, and then she basically starts over and tells it again. Whyyyyyyy.

She is fine. Took me a while to get used to how chirpy she is, given the subject matter of rape, torture and murder... But she is smart and lively and interesting.

He is a disaster. Can't seem to follow even really simple sentences, and his most coherent contributions are ugh, huh, oh, uh huh, and oh my god.

Lovely

Well written, evocative short stories surrounding a single house from the American War of Independence until the present.

Not much "happens" in the stories, they are mostly about love -- not necessarily romantic, all kinds -- in different contexts and situations.

Beautifully done.

Flat characters doing boring things in a predictable story. There wasn't even one redeeming quality. Oh, except that it was short. So I can quickly move onto something better.
