This anthology was a well-written and compelling glimpse into the lives of some very interesting characters. I loved the use and symbolism of color, and looked forward to seeing how the author would carry on that theme in each story. It takes a special knack to write short stories and Maria Savva is very skilled in this genres as well as with writing novels. Her characters are full of emotion and her stories take unexpected turns. I'm glad there are so many colors in the rainbow as each story inFirst of all, I really like the cover--it just matches up so well with the concept of the collection which is based upon each 'color' in the rainbow. How cool is that!I particularly enjoyed 'Envy', 'Mystic Purple', and 'Rainbow's End', though all of the stories were succinct. They weren't succinct in a lazy sense either--characterization was good in the sense that I actually cared and was interested in the characters' sentiments and situations (which is quite hard to do when you have a "limited
One of the things I love most about Maria Savva's writing is that readers can expect the unexpected. This anthology is no exception."Pieces of a Rainbow" is a collection of seven tales, each featuring a color found along the classic ROYGBIV spectrum. Sometimes it's a flower. Sometimes it's flame. Sometimes it's a character's name. The references tie the very different tales together.My favorite of the lot was "Envy," the green story in the set. It's a tale about differing perspectives of two
Oddly, a bit fast-paced. The color idea was a little trite. And the connections between stories were just okay. Sorry, Maria.
Nice idea, but I don't think short stories are for me. Not enough time for character development. At times, the stories felt slightly too cliched.
Excellent, will write reveiw shortly
This book was awful. I don't understand how it has so many rave reviews. The writing style gives the vibe that a 13 year old wrote the book.
