Haven't been the biggest fan of Kowals unfortunately but this was more than solid. Quick and fun one that feels like a fairytale turned into modern day story.Ī typical mid-20s something protagonist who's seemingly lost in life wants to travel to "the stop after the last station" in an attempt to regain a sense of purpose in life. Felt like more could've been done with, but still a decent story. :Ī gentle story that reminded me of some of Octavia Butler's work. Going to start keeping this so I have a nice overview of which stories I liked for the hugos/nebulas/. Reviews/ratings for the individual stories. Me gustó más la historia de la casa embrujada de este autor. I agree that I liked the haunted house story better.Īnton escapa de una situación abusiva ayudado por su amigo Grigori, es un 'familiar' que escapa de un nido de un vampiro (aunque más parece una de esas 'ovejas' de otras historias de chupasangres) esto pronto se ve como una alegoría del dificil proceso de dejar atrás en tu mente al abusador. He has a habituated trauma that requires him to do something or face consequences he’s too afraid to think about. Without thinking about it, Anton knows he doesn’t have a work ethic. although this is soon seen as an allegory for the difficult process of leaving the abuser behind in your mind. Bird has banished the sun from this place, cloaking it in a peaceful, suffocating dark where Anton and Pavla don’t have to think.
