Red Gloves and Other Stories Review

General Impressions

I picked up "The Red Gloves and Other Stories" because I really like short stories and the weather put me in the mood to read something a bit moodier.

With all honesty, I was not expecting much of a middle-grade collection so this was certainly a learning opportunity because I freaking loved this book...and I wasn't able to finish it at night. Catherine Fisher, you win.

Every story is extremely relatable and enjoyable, no matter how young or old you are but what I really loved about this book was that the author never finished a story in a predictable way or fell into the cliche of making every story horrible or (needlessly) graphic. You felt the most scared the closer things were to reality and I thought that was great.

I particularly loved, loved, loved the last story and how filled with Welsh culture the entire book was.

Thank you to Firefly for sending me this book proof.

Rating: 4/5
