"In her first collection, award-winning novelist Jo Walton delivers both subtle legends and reinvented realities. An ancient coin cyber-spies on lovers and thieves. The magic mirror sees all but can do nothing. A cloned savior solves a fanatically-inspired murder. Three Irish siblings thieve treasures with bad poetry and the aid of the Queen of Cats"--Back cover.

Review of 'Starlings' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

This collection shows the enormously wide range that Jo Walton can do.

In her introduction, she says that she could write novels right away, but struggled to write short stories. She goes further to say that some of the stories in this collection still aren't right. I wouldn't try to guess which ones aren't right, because every story felt right to me.

There's even one that has a talking cat.
