I think "Mistaken" was my favorite short story from this collection. It really captured the essence of the entire book. Dragons are a lot of things and Vlach has put together a collection that really captures the essence of all of it. I liked Mistaken because it was short, sweet, and dark. The stories in this book make you question humanity, yourself, and what you think you know about the world.The language with all the stories is thick and rich and beautiful. I'd compare this to Tolkien or Lewis. While I'm not normally a fan of short stories, I liked this collection because the stories vary with length, style, and topic, so you aren't just reading the same story over and over again. Perfect for anyone who wants to try a new author or who doesn't have time to read a full length novel front-to-back. There are 9 stories in this collection so you can read an entire story in a short amount of time.
