ACOT Message Board

by Kim EdwardsI've been struggling my way through this book for over two months.  I was only able to read one chapter at a time, which is unusual to me.  It's not that the book was boring, more that it was fairly depressing and not very cohesive.  When I checked it out of the library I knew it was a collection of short stories, but the jacket description led me to believe those stories are linked in some way.  They aren't.  Not that I could see anyway.  Other than that each story dealt with a relationship, and was usually from a woman's point of view.All of the stories in this book were depressing, without fail, not a single one had a happy ending.  And they were all very weird stories, very unique events told in a mystical manner.  All very interesting, just hard to read as a body of works. 

That would be a difficult read with all the negativity in it.
