I enjoyed the book! Original ideas, fantastic imaginary and great writing style. Being a debut book, I'd say it has a lot of potential. The poems in the book are mostly free verse poems, but it seems to me that the author has not yet decided which kind of poetry suits her better. Although I must confess that verses are not my best reading option for the time being...

The best part I liked about the book was the short stories. I loved how they were surprising and artistic, the writing style especially was the best feature and, intertwined with the ideas and the plot, they were great! Although they are varied in subject, they all reflect portions of the human nature, with all which is seen and unseen. I'd wish these mysterious tales about birds, beasts and spirit, the three parts which compound the book, were a bit longer, because I felt like I'd like to know more... about the places, the characters, the thickening plot. The thing with most short stories is that there is not enough material to know everything and to love the characters... it's a relationship which takes time to develop.

All in all, I liked the philosophical speech within the pages about human nature and life, in general, and the fact that it also touches the time factor, in all three dimensions (as in past, present and future) with a story that goes back to the 1890s, the present of imagining the answer and the futuristic version of a world of millions of years after turning the Old Earth into a desert (among others). Like I already said, the stories have dissimilar subjects, as has the poetry, but it makes an unusual and intriguing mix of metaphorical statements.
