White Water, Blue Ocean - (view spoiler)[I haven't read a lot of stories about non binary characters so that was interesting the way the author presented it. Such unusual images and ways of thinking like "a bubble of rotten clouds." Never have I had a thought like that. lol I also like the relationship with her abuela. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Leyenda : A Wolves of No World Story - (view spoiler)[I like the quote: If we're so powerful, why is it we don't have any power? More good food for thought. I liked Zaybet and Phase I. In Phase II Saysa helped make Zaybet even more interesting and likeable to me because I liked her more in Phase II. But Phase III & IV really grew my like for Zaybet and the story. I loved it. (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Color-Coded (view spoiler)[I have a special affinity for freshmen so the first few sentences really captured my interest. Adorable story. Girls love making their hair different colors but I imagine a world where it just happens. Loved this one. Flor didn't "want to become a walking strawberry shortcake." lol (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Magical Offerings - (view spoiler)[At first the huntsman freaked me out. But that was my favorite part of the story. I loved the mystery of him. I'd have been too scared to unchain him! For some reason he loved emphasizing Witch I loved it! (hide spoiler)]

[Trisha]

haha!! I'm so glad you are loving it!!

[Vicki]

Rogue Enchantments - (view spoiler)[This resonated with me because I also would love to "brew a portion that will save all my plants." LOL Why would Mateo do that?! I know he said for Pilar but jeez. Makes me mad/sad he'd do that. (hide spoiler)]

I loved it. it was almost a little fable-ish but I loved it"

Sumaiko Y La Sirena - I have to agree with you. It definitely was "fable-ish but I loved it too. As soon as it said (view spoiler)[Plantation, I knew I'd love it. lol My favorite part was the very last paragraph. (hide spoiler)]

I can definitely see where you're coming from, but when I read a story like this one (view spoiler)[it is unrealistic from my Christian point of view. It's more like a horror story and/or mythology. Not realistic at all. (hide spoiler)]

River People - (view spoiler)[Sad how people can change due to circumstances. A river talking to Malena was rather odd. lol (hide spoiler)]

Trisha wrote: "Moonglow oooh this one was a great little horror story - right? didn't that feel more like a horror story
so odd but so interesting"

Moonglow - Yes! (view spoiler)[Definitely a horror story in my opinion. But very odd for sure! What's with "DIARY" and "Diary Mother"? (hide spoiler)]

[Vicki]

Killing El Chivo - (view spoiler)[Another very strange one, right? But sometimes odd/strange/different is also good. I would give it 3.5 stars (hide spoiler)]
