Beautifully written stories but without satisfying endings

4 stars

A collection of beautifully written short fantasy stories. Full of thieves, little gods, creepy creatures and the occasional dragon. They are a joy to read but really just mood pieces. My one criticism is that they all stop abruptly without satisfying endings. Still highly recommended for the poetic language
