Dedalus Book of Finnish Fantasy by Johanna Sinisalo
4.0
3.5 stars. It's always difficult to know how to rate an anthology and that's especially true for this one. While several of the stories did not capture my interest at all, others were engrossing from the very first line and filled my imagination with delicious images.
In particular, I enjoyed Pentti Holappa's "Boman" (the adventures of a cultured and rather sarcastic talking dog), Aarto Paasalinaa's "Good Heavens!" (a man learns being dead can be very interesting) and Johanna Sinisalo's "Transit" (an autistic girl acts on a message received from dolphins).
I look forward to reading other collections of European fantasy from Dedalus.
