Book Review: Collecting Feathers
by A.E. Albert
@aealbert23












Author: Daniela I. Norris
Genre: A Collection of Short Stories



Collecting Feathers is a collection of short stories telling various points of view of crossing over. The tales take place in different places around the world, giving the reader a sense of history and culture. The variety of settings also lends an authentic air about the stories.

The narration is beautiful. I greatly enjoyed the author’s use of prose. These stories aren't 
frightening or ghoulish, but mysterious and sometimes haunting. 

They give the reader something to think about when done, yet eager to continue reading on to the next story.

Each and every tale has a distinct plot which the author adheres to unfailingly. They flow effortlessly, making the stories an enjoyable and easy read.

The characters are established immediately, enabling you to connect with their plights from the first page. The author created characters that you can’t help by empathize with, yet the feelings brought out vary from story to story.

As said earlier, I wouldn't consider Collecting Feathers a dark read, but wonderfully poignant. There isn't always a happy ending, but always food for thought.
