The fourth story -The Enduring Chill- was the best one yet, and although it maintained the same themes as the first three, it felt like a fresh read. O'Connor continues to impress me with her ability to create characters and atmosphere. I'm finding her supporting characters to be particularly interesting.

Two more stories down, and while I'm no less impressed with O'Connor's writing, her storytelling is getting a bit stale. Really, all three of these stories are the same story. They were told well, but still the same.
Perhaps they weren't meant to be read consecutively. Think I'll take a break from this and come back to it later.

The eponymous first short story in this collection has sold me on both book and author.
The story was well told, and made me think, and made me feel like a rather different person than I was 24 pages ago.
That's quite a feat, and I'm excited for O'Conner to repeat the trick.
