Interesting short story. Of course, since it was written by Stephen King, it isn't straight forward and you need to think about it when finished

This story may be short but it manages to encapsulate in just 270 words the end result of a world driven by greed and avarice

Aww, I really enjoyed this book. Sure it was short but it was also a well thought out story with a good plot and characters.

Refreshing addition to the series
Quick to throw you into the story. The creators use every angle to their advantage from story to the adantage of being a Netflix original. The main character is very likable which helps move the story along. The action is great, fast and bloody. The season is short but it quickly got renewed for a 2nd season, so I will be eagerly waiting for the next chapter.

"I read one of Borges’ short stories in a science-fiction magazine when I was 20, and I immediately fell in love with his style and his universe. Later on, I discovered that the short story, ‘The Babel Library,’ was part of this collection of short stories. Borges is the only South American writer all of whose books I have read and reread."

I was gifted a copy of this short story by the author in exchange for an honest review. I made no guarantee of a favorable review.

This short story was a deeply, powerful and meaningful story of the human heart and the capacity of the love it holds told via the use of Norse mythology. It was well written and I certainly did not see what was coming. I love a story that makes me cry upon revealing its most intimate secret. This is truly a must read.

"Moore is one of the best short story writers of all time. She is a strange, wondrous and occasionally unmerciful storyteller while also being incredibly profound."

For such a short story it certainly packs a punch. Jeez.

Definitely think I need to read the next one to find out what happens next
