Beautiful writing, but a bit of a slog. Every story was so bleak and without humour or hope. One could say the writing quality was completely my style but the content was not. In most cases I had no sympathy for any of the characters and many of them I actively disliked. I actually cheered when I finished it because now I get to read something happier.

Gripping. Haunting. Disturbing. Wrenching. I feel wrung out whenever I finish one of these.

Engrossing, sad, wistful, sometimes joyful, worth reading. Probably a bit depressing, but in a bad way.
