Wrote a review for

The themes of this story are deep, unsettling, and confronting. TW: suicidal ideation, abuse, trauma.

None of the major players are likable, but that is the point and drives the story. The audacity of the main character is rather grating, with him seeming to want to be a detective more than a therapist, but that is also a key point and when everything comes to a head, it's incredibly important.

You will feel that timelines don't always add up, but they do, and it will all make sense.

Well worth the read.

An absolutely fascinating compendium of short stories.

Belladonna Nights was so initially perplexing, but so, so deep and left you very existentially ponderous.

Metal Like Blood in the Dark was such a captivating story of introspection, growth, and innocence (and/or the loss there of).

Immersion is powerful in the reflection of current society and the need to portray an unrealistic, polished perfection of life online. It's one downfall was my thirst for so much more! It needs a novel, or a series!

The Last Voyage of Skidbladnir was a touching analogy of consumerism over the appreciation of life, and the growth we must take to overcome such things.

The rest were just good and fun little episodes of space opera, and I enjoyed it all!
