The Regular - It amazes me so how I get so attached to the characters in these short stories. Ken Liu is magic.

The Literomancer: I wasn't familiar with the history behind this story, so it was kind of an eye-opening experience for me. I was so invested, it made me want to research it.
It has a lot of very serious topics and it's a bonus twist that it is through the eyes of a child. It broke my heart I little, and I have admit I had to skip a part, if you read it you probably can guess which.

About the fourth story: During reading I realized I know this story. It was made it into an animated episode of Love, death and robots. Very interesting story, made me feel sad for a bit but the ending was also beautiful and fullfilling.

This story was like a Black Mirror episode. Interesting.

The second story really made me think about myself and my life choices. I loved the whole idea of the souls as different objects and how everybody has to understand how theirs work.
