Christina (A Reader of Fictions)’s Reviews > Three Sides of a Heart: Stories about Love Triangles > Status Update

"Dread South" - Justina Ireland: Without any context, this story's okay. It's well written, and the concept's interesting. However, as a love triangle, it's a pass, because it's so much more about the setting and the world building than the emotions, which feel distant. I felt no romantic connection between anyone, though it's attempted. Also, feels cheap to do merely do a short in the world of Dread Nation.

"Riddles in Mathematics" - Katie Cotugno: A decent opening to the anthology, though I would argue this is not, in fact, a love triangle. The heroine thinks there's a love triangle, but there actually isn't one. I mean, I guess that counts for some people? This worked okay for me. I liked the writing. The characters have potential, but there's not enough time spent for me to care about the ship.
