Yellow: Stories by Don Lee

3.0

Decently good short story collection that was interesting but not mind-blowing. I found the writing to be lyrical and pleasant, but the characters to be a bit bland/repetitive. I found myself confusing some of them with each other. I also didn't really like the inconsistency in that some of the stories intertwined but others didn't. I think it would have been better if either all of them were connected or none of them were. Also, a lot of the stories would build up to something exciting happening and then skip over it entirely straight to the aftermath, which kinda felt like a cop-out to me. Like, "eh, this scene is gonna be difficult to write, so how about I just skip it?"
I dunno. Worth a read, anyway. I liked it overall.
