Review of 'Smoke and Mirrors' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I have to admit that I've had this book for ages, but I haven't read it because I had a difficult time getting into the paper version. However, at this time of COVID-19, I needed something that I could focus on in short bursts. My mind has been wondering a lot, and even with this, I took a few notes on each story as I walked using my phone. It kept my brain focused.

My favorite of the stories are Murder Mysteries, about the creation of the universe and a bit more; Nicholas Was, offering a twist of Santa's adventures; The Price, about how animals our important in our world; and Chivalry, putting The Quest into the modern era.

Actually, in this collection there were very few that I didn't enjoy, so Yeah! Reading this in 2020 also provides an opportunity to reflect on how the world has changed a bit since the stories also were written over a few decades.
