by Robin McKinley
Grade: All right
Not my favourite selection of Robin McKinley.
"The Healer": Good enough, I guess. Not much to say about this one.
"The Stagman": Perhaps my least favourite. In the end, the woman leaves her wife and children for a half-stag man.
"Touk's House": Didn't do anything particularly for me.
"Buttercups": My favourite. The image of the buttercups was cool, and I liked the unusual love story.
"A Knot in the Grain": Good enough. I didn't quite get what happened at the end. Probably because I wasn't really bothering to pay attention. However, it was good. I did like it. So I shouldn't be too crabby.
"RED is the most joyful and dreadful thing in the physical universe; it is the fiercest note, it is the highest light, it is the place where the walls of this world of ours wear thinnest and something beyond burns through. It glows in the blood which sustains and in the fire which destroys us, in the roses of our romance and in the awful cup of our religion. It stands for all passionate happiness, as in faith or in first love." -G. K. Chesterton
