We'll be reading this novelette throughout February. Post comments and use spoiler tags when necessary.

I read a story from her once: The War of Light and Shadow, in Five Dishes, which I quite liked.


Gabi | 3441 comments I've read this last month. It was a fun idea and I guess it especially sits well with you if (view spoiler)

I opened that spoiler and now I am moving it up in my schedule, which is now ;p


Silvana (silvaubrey) | 2766 comments Well that was quick.

I absolutely loved this one. Fun, hilarious, well written. And yes, that POV and everything about it is wonderful.


Joelle.P.S | 150 comments Yay for cattitude! Very fun POV indeed.


Silvana (silvaubrey) | 2766 comments And the name (view spoiler) gonna stay with me for a long time. Too late to change my cat's name.


Joelle.P.S | 150 comments LOL yeah the kitten & its name were awesome


Cheryl (cherylllr) The cover is great. But what color is "spilled whale oil before a match is struck?" I'm not a huge fan of random metaphorical descriptions, esp. in short stories.

But that's just a small nit, the only one I see to pick. Mostly the story is enchanting. Thank you for posting.


Silvana (silvaubrey) | 2766 comments Yellow... Golden... ish?
I don't really pay attention to metaphors, I guess.

Glad you enjoyed it :)

at least it's short? :D


Silvana (silvaubrey) | 2766 comments Well, well, I normally never look at Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ recommendation part of my screen, but it is now showing this The Cat Who Walked a Thousand Miles, a short story by Kij Johnson. Usually GR recs are very random, but this time it might hit the spot.

I gave it four stars. But just to warn y'all, it's not very short!
