Michelle Browne builds two very distinct dystopian worlds in these stories, yet somehow, I found them eerily similar in their themes of oppression and conformity.Both stories had a definite Orwellian cast, especially The Word Thieves with a central story of extreme censorship, zealous expectations of conformity and spies who watch for individual expression and unsanctioned behavior.Michelle's heroines are smart, sassy, free-thinker's who don't do well in these totalitarian societies and they have excellent depth of character.Great stories!
