Shifting Shadows

Shifting Shadows by Patricia Briggs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I listened to this via audible instead of reading and I find that’s my preferred mechanism for short story anthologies. Some of these stories are a little long to fit in that designation, but they were all interesting and enjoyable in their own way.

Of the stories in this book, I believe only 4 are new, but several I hadn’t read in previous iterations. Overall, they were very nicely introduced and strung together in chronological order, which I very much appreciated. I can’t say I recall the happenings of the books in between since it has been many many years, but it was nice to hear.

These books have a wide range from silly/fun to depressing/serious. If that’s not your jam, then this may not be the right set for you. If you’re a completionist and this series is your jam, it will be worth it. I like the layers we see, especially with some of the “quieter” characters we get in the series. Short stories in here offer a unique glimpse into their inner workings and made me appreciate them even more.
