Sight Unseen: A Collection of Five Anonymous Novellas by Emma Barry, J.A. Rock, Erin Satie, Sherry Thomas, Meredith Duran
4.0
This is an experimental anthology; each author is writing in a genre new to her.
For me, two of the stories stand out as clear and lovely. The story flows, the relationships develop, there may not be a firm ending but I was never confused.
One was a little confusing but I would like to know more about the characters.
One was pretty clear, was not beautiful, I would like to know more, but it did resolve cleanly.
One was confusing and unresolved and I did not really care.
The anchor story, the final in the anthology "The Heart is a Universe" is the strongest, most empathetic, and beautifully written.
I recommend this anthology, I did in fact pay for the paperback edition AFTER I read the (free) ARC.
I might have paid a bit too much for the actual print version but paper, print, and time cost money so I do not regret it. The ebook is more affordable. The beauty and inspiration in the final story is worth the cost.
Although the stories are not not currently accredited they will be in about three months. Part of the fun is trying to figure out which author wrote which story.
