Overall, this was a great read. Some parts were completely terrible while others were absolutely fantastic. I would only reread parts of this novel as certain stories are better than the others but all in all, it’s a 4 star read.

Interests: Witchcraft, Short Stories, LGBTQ+, Romance, Family, Multiple POV’s.

Point of View: Multiple of different characters

Audience/ Reading Level: 14+ as there are some serious scenes that are a bit more mature.

A wonderful array of short stories set in India
An intriguing network of short stories set in modern India with a backdrop of traditional culture. The stories have a vague link with one another, usually focusing on one particular character's narrative. And the nature of each story varies from magical realism to politics. While there were some stories I liked more than others, the animal cruelty of one specific tale was a little gratuitous to my liking. And while I know this happens in India it didn't seem to go anywhere. Other than that a well written cyclical novel.

"Simple, dark, powerful short stories about families, break-ups and their kids caught in between. Love the restraint. It’s all brewing under the surface, less is more."

This is definitely not for kids! This is a yaoi manga of short stories by Kou Yoneda. There are three main storylines. My favorite was the first story, in which the characters on the cover were featured. They're quick reads, but cute adult-based stories.
