Reviews with the most likes.
A nice little collection of short fiction from Saladin Ahmed. Like his other work, it's mostly fantasy, and features concepts drawn from Middle Eastern myth NAND folklore. Sometimes poignant, sometimes wondrous. always entertaining, Engraved on the Eye is one of those rare short fiction collections where I enjoyed every single one of the stories. Bonus: the first meeting of Doctor Abdouhl and Raseed bas Raseed!
S.A. has definitely become an author on my “purchase immediately when anything new comes out” list.
