Mükemmel Prenses 1 - Cesur Zeynep (Ciltsiz) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Mandolin Yayınları

This anthology of short stories sets out to answer the burning question of the ages: what are more awesome, zombies or unicorns? Justine Larbalestier (author of Liar, amongst many other things) is the editor that heads up Team Zombie; Holly Black (author of many, many books that I haven't read) leads Team Unicorn. Each editor has stories by six authors with which to make her case. I fully admit that I was pro-zombie before I came to this book. How couldn't I be? Zombies embody our deepest fears. I was open to being persuaded otherwise (killer unicorns, what's not to love?), so dove in. Unfortunately, I was not persuaded. The stronger set of stories belonged to the flag-carriers for the undead. Particular standouts: Scott Westerfeld's "Inoculata" and Libba Bray's "Prom Night". Carrie Ryan's "Bougainvillea" is recommended to those who like The Forest of Hands and Teeth series but get fed up with the love stories. I was really looking forward to Margo Flanagan's story -- I have loved her work since first being sucked in by "Singing My Sister Down", the story that led me to seek out all her books. So I was probably most disappointed by this one; it was an interesting idea but just didn't pull together for me. This is a quick, amusing read. The editors spar in comment sections before each piece. And who could fail to be entertained by the endpapers? I only wish that there had been a story about zombie unicorns.
