Bittersweet drama, a little dry
As interesting as the parallel dialogues were of both father and daughter, the story fell short slightly of its potential. It felt a little repetitive at times and ended rather suddenly with not much conclusion. It was sweet but it didn't quite reach the point of cementing a moral of the story.

Beautiful Movie
The animation is beautiful, a credit to the previous Ghibli crew. I felt that the story lacked in ways and it left me wanting more when it was over. Still enjoyable but could have used a better story arc. Somewhat predictable and then falling short of other expectations, it is still worth a watch.

Witch and Wizard is a fun story that felt like a cross between Harry Potter and Hunger Games. The modern wizard magic discovery meets apocalyptic government takeover. The story was short but fun and filled with lots of magic. The main characters were interesting and strong. I also really liked that Elijah Wood was one of the narrators.
  
I quite liked this for such a short story. It took about 5/10 minutes to read but it's certainly left me wondering what happens next. The only problem with that is that the author no longer sells the book as individual stories and has done a revised edition with all the different parts in one full story.

How Lisa Loved the King

This is not in fact a short story, but a poem. It tells of how Lisa, the daughter of a respectable merchant family in Sicilly, sickens for the love she bears for the king, and how this is alleviated.
