Reader Reviews
This really is short story writing at its best. Jam-packed full of beautiful images, great dialogue and layers of meaning, these stories fire the imagination. They come in bite-sized pieces too - Three Matches, Dancing Light and The Crystal Cave - with both writers, Joanna Gawn and Ron Dickerson giving their very different but equally beautiful interpretations of the same title. My personal favourites though were the short stories themselves - The Restoration of Conover House is simply beautiful
I absolutely loved this collection of short stories, especially the ones involving Keira and Jason from The Cordello Quest! Joanna & Ron's writing styles compliment each others very well and bring forth something truly unique!There were plenty of stories in the book covering a wide range of themes. Because the stories are quite short it is the perfect book to pick up even if you only have a couple of minutes to spare, or like me you could read it in one sitting.I look forward to reading more by
Some of these short stories are really good! This is a great little collection.
