Love Stories

De: Katherine Villyard

Narrado por: Kyle Akers

In these twelve SFF stories, will emotion bring out the best in people—or showcase their worst impulses?

Ann won't rest until she sets the past to rights. But when time travel becomes a complicated conversation with multiple versions of herself, will she end up criminally insane?

Alien priestess Ariane's identity is rooted in her religion. Will her naïve empathy leave her exposed to a determined human prisoner's deception?

Alan Idle is trapped inside his wheelchair-bound programmer's laptop. When a hurricane threatens to cut off the electricity that powers him, will her fierce fight to keep him safe reveal a deeper truth?

Exploring grief, affection, and the ties that bind us all together, this thought-provoking and diverse set of a dozen fantastical stories takes listeners on a riveting trip around the galaxy.

Whether it's venturing into the criminal underworld with a wizard or delving into tough questions about how society treats the differently abled, Villyard's elegant prose infuses each otherworldly scenario and cleverly evokes critical contemplations on expectations, reality, and humanity's future.

Interesting

These ae stories about love, but these aren't romantic love stories. I didn't realize that going into it. The stories are all different. I love happy ending stories, so I didn't get much of that here. My favorite story was actually the very first one- Book of Shadows. I just like the use of magic in the story, and like others in here, there was a twist. I wish it was longer, but it was perfect as is. I always love the unexpected twist in stories (or movies)- especially when it pops up out of nowhere. It was fun getting such short stories- I'm not used to that as even in anthologies I read, the stories are longer- but in general prefer things a bit longer. But it worked here.

I listened to this audiobook narrated by Kyle Akers. I really liked this narrator. He spoke clearly and even toned. I loved the sound of his voice.
