  • Ravensdaughter's Tale on Aug. 12, 2012

    What young girl doesn't believe her family simply found her and she really belongs to a higher order of beings--especially if her ears are a bit pointy? In Ravensdaughter's Tale Margaret Taylor weaves an enchanting story of adolescence, the loneliness of being different, and the realization that life can't always be what we want. A very good read.

    Joel is an excellent writer and his technical skill is very much in evidence in this vignette. The story is about endurance and wit. My wish is that Brenda, the remarkably levelheaded victim, had used a bit more wit and tried talking to her attacker since they'd come to a stand-off. Still, it’s a very good short read.
