After <strong>Dandelion Wine</strong>, this was my other enemy in the summer of 2019. Two colleagues of mine from work had big praise about this book, so much so that one of them brought it to Poland from Bulgaria just to lend it to me, because she thought it was so great.
<strong>It wasn't bad, per se, just not up to my tastes. </strong>
I would say that for the fans of sci-fi fantasy, this book is godsent. It contains a large myriad of different fantastical stories about witches, trolls, goblins, dragons, supernatural detectives, and so much more. In theory, it should be the perfect book for me, too. In practice, however, I believe it's the humor that just doesn't do it for me. Especially translated to Bulgarian. I do love my fantasy, but not this type of humorous sci-fi fantasy.
There were, of course, several stories that I quite enjoyed, especially the ones set in a kingdom far far away, and I did laugh, so I can't say it was all bad. But, I especially did not like the stories that were more reminiscent of our world, but with a supernatural twist.
In general, I don't have much bad to say, or much good. It was a big collection of short stories, and I'm positive that most people would find at least one or two that would be up to their liking. As I mentioned, it just wasn't my thing.”
