Just the scent of charred skin, unbearable heat, the inharmonious sound of her last, grief-raw scream as she evaporated, leaving glass footprints seared into the desert sand. If my parents were still alive—although they are, probably, in some iteration of the universe; maybe even this one—they would tell me that it wasn’t my fault, that no one could have seen it coming. That she did this to herself. But that kind of blame doesn’t suit me. Besides, they had always been exceptionally blind to matters regarding Melanie. This opens with a bang and the writing is gorgeous, but the story spun around and around (not a metaphor) too fast for me to catch ahold and really love it. I couldn't make the necessary connection to have the heartbreak I am always craving from a story. (I will probably reread this at a later date to see if its better than my first reaction; it seems like it should be. It certainly would be better if some of the other Tor shorts were not so freaking extraordinary, but really, why would I want that?) If you'd like to give it a try yourself, you can give it a read for free at Tor: http://www.tor.com/2016/03/02/a-fist-of-permutations-in-lightning-and-wildflower... keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Hannah and Melanie: sisters, apart and together. Weather workers. Time benders. When two people so determined have opposing desires, it's hard to say who will win--or even what victory might look like. This stunning, haunting short story from rising star Alyssa Wong explores the depth and fierceness of love and the trauma of family. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
