Reseñas
Not overly impressed with this collection
mikezane
This is a collection of short stories and poems that are very much like the Aesop fables. Some are interesting, some are boring, and some are blah. I lost interest at chapter 13 and moved onto another book. Regarding readers: Maria did a fine job, I was able to follow her without issue. Ray was more difficult. His cadence was blurry in some way that I had trouble following. I believe this story will appeal more to fans of the dramatic, which I am not.
