I believe I have 3 Sakey books on my TBR Shelves and sad to say, I have not touched one yet. This short story was a great opportunity for me to get a taste of his writing. Did I like it? Yep, sure did. I've been wanting to read The Blade Itself for years now. Hopefully this will give me that nudge I need to actually pick it up. It's not a matter of want, though - it's a matter of time. I need more of it!
Whew! This would be a difficult short story to write, let alone read.
ReplyDeleteWe all need more time. Here's to us getting more of it!
Vickie ~ Thank goodness for short stories. At least my curiosity is quenched for the time being.
