What's grabbing me the most is how incredibly depressing this story has been so far.
So much so, that I also started reading A Yuletide Universe: Sixteen Fantastical Tales
by Brian M. Thomsen (Editor) in the hopes for a bit of cheer.
Unfortunately, I seem to have chosen the wrong collection for that task, as the first two stories were anything but cheerful. |
I'm just past the halfway mark of
We Are the Ants. It's a hard book to enjoy, but not to like. At times you feel like you need an emotional break, but at other times you just can't put it down.
As for
A Yuletide Universe: Sixteen Fantastical Tales, it will definitely have to wait until after
We Are the Ants.
