Publisher's summary

The winter field was planted, the seedstones buried to the depth of a woman's wrist. Any deeper and they might decline to sprout. Any shallower and....

Well. There were tales enough of that. Children stayed up all night for the terror of them.

Great short story

Interesting idea and it leaves you wanting more which is what any good story should do

Unique

The story was confusing at first, but made more sense as it went along. The narrator was excellent. I enjoyed the story.

A lot of words, but no substance

I found this story to be vapid. It must have been intended as some kind of allegory. But I could find no redeeming value here. It was billed as a story about dragons. They appear for about 2 minutes in a senseless and pointless plot. To call it a novella is a bit of a stretch too. More like a short story with no obvious point.

uninterested

one new idea but the dialogue and character interactions are ham-handed and characters are unlikable.

Not well written and not much better read

You can’t blame the entire fault of the story being bad on the person reading it because they didn’t have a very good material to start. The story is jumpy hard to follow doesn’t make a lot of sense and doesn’t seem to have a point. it’s horrible
