Jason Waltz’s Reviews > Or All Will Burn > Status Update

Arnette, "What Was Once Wild": And I thought the last one was lame. I at least skimmed that one. This one ... Marine cats. Not even going to read it.

Ezell and Wolf, "And The Void Stared Back": weird psychedelic shit that ain't for me.

Zeidler, "The Country Road": a homey, safe, feel-good tale with a fun twist.

Milbourne, "Pia": ok. Decent vengeance tale. 2nd human trafficking story in a row.

Howard, "Beneath Red Sky": poorly written teenage horror scape

Grayson's "A Father's Promise" finally brings the good adult storytelling back with a vengeance-fueled scavenger hunt. Well-described protagonist's emotions and attitude.

Yeah, "Fur, Fangs, Family" is another animal fest. 2 strikes.

Okay, seriously: was the theme for this book including sentient animals? One more story with them and I'm outta here.

Well...all I got on "Peer Review Parenting" is...it met the theme.

Why the hell do people find cat stories entertaining?

Pierce, "A Mother's Pyre": a well told, strong to theme tale, featuring a sentient spaceship. Great start to this anthology.
