- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Utterly marvellous short story collection that will overwhelm and delight any reader.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Fox’s Tower & Other Tales is a collection of beautifully elegant flash fiction stories. Each of these stories can be read in less than five minutes, and the majority have the feel of a fairy tale, even if they are not straight forward retellings.While the formats are very different, the quality of the stories reminds me of Valente’s In the Night Garden for the gorgeous prose and the female characters who reside outside of their normal fairy tale positions. There were also a number of stories with queer characters, which even include some with nonbinary characters.If you want to get a feel for the sort of stories offered in this collection, the vast majority of these forty tales are available for free on the author’s website. I would particularly recommend “The Virtues of Magpies,” about a community with some trickster magpies who prove helpful in the end, and “The Youngest Fox,” the story of an nontraditional shape shifting fox who prefers science to seduction.Originally posted on The Illustrated Page.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Honestly, I'm not big on flash fiction - I'm only just learning to love short stories, and I still complain that I want every novella to be a novel. But Yoon Ha Lee won me over with sheer beauty of prose and wealth of imagery, ideas coming thick and fast in a torrent of wild imagination.Absolutely delectable for those days when you really do only have 5 minutes to read, and need something that can whisk you off to another world in that time.Full review.
