I've been very busy lately so it took me a while to get around to this! Note that if you're not on a Bookwyrm instance, the image will show the average rating across my instance, not my own rating. My rating is 3 stars. This collection features three short stories, so I've decided to give a separate rating and mini-review for each one.
Seventh Voyage: 3 stars This was a fun little story that wouldn't have seemed out of place in Hitchhiker's Guide or similar. It's very funny and well-written for that effect, but it doesn't have much substance to it other than that.

The Mask: 4 stars I enjoyed The Mask a lot, and it's an interesting story with an interesting premise that it explores well. Some of the descriptive sections, especially towards the earlier parts of the story, I think some queer people may find particularly interesting; as an example, "I, a she now, felt the rush of gender so violent, that her head spun and I shut my eyes."
