Fast-paced and interesting premise, though the book reads too much like a script for me (lots of "he says", "she says").

I haven't watched Arrival yet, but really interested in seeing how the movie compares to Ted Chiang's original story. With the exception of the first story, I LOVE every story in this collection. The characters are well-developed, and the ideas are thought-provoking. Love it.

"The damaging tone has too broad a reach. That tone reinforces pervasive cultural messages women are already swallowing about what they should tolerate in romantic relationships, about what they should tolerate to be loved by their Prince Charming." Yes, this!!! #fiftyshadesofproblems

FernsAndFairyTales Yes! Fates and Furies is incredible. I haven't been able to find her short story collection anywhere yet, but I've read the title story, Delicate Edible Birds, and that's the piece that made me fall in love with her in the first place. 9y

I'm not usually a graphics novel or comics book person, but the cover drew me in. I have complicated (ha!) feelings about this book- hauntingly beautiful illustrations, but the story feels confusing, disjointed and incomplete. Maybe something was lost in translation? 🤔#japanese #graphicnovel

I really wanted to like this, but I found it boring and unrealistic. I also just didn't care about the characters, though I do appreciate the author's attempt to talk about euthanasia. I will not be reading the sequel.
