East of the Sun and West of the Moon

This wasn't a bad collection. It just wasn't my favorite. Many of the stories felt redundant, and many of the characters shared the same names across stories. That may be due to the source material, but it was confusing.

The writing style was alright... Do you recall stories that your mother or grandmother would tell you? Some phrases weren't actual sentences, and others had mysterious things/being/characters that just popped up out of nowhere? That's how this was written. It's more an oral recording that was transcribed instead of polished up stories written by an author.

All in all, a nice little collection, but I've read many of these stories in other places where they are slightly more polished.
