The book contains a collection of eight short stories revolving around magic.
(To be frank, I am rather at a loss for what to say next about this book.)
Aside from the first story "the Ladies of Grace Adieu", I found precious little to enjoy about this book.
I reckon that's due to the short story form, in which too little of plot and storyline is developed for me to term it a satisfactory reading. Two stories carried faint echoes of stories I have read/heard before, further diluting the novelty factor for me.
Still I ploughed through the book. Finishing it, I found little to recommend, save to say that if you are the type who just wants to read for a short span of time, and expect that your next reading of the book will be very much in the unforeseeable future, then read this book, because the short story and independent stories will stand you in good stead.
