review 1: A fun, short romp through a whimsical worldThis definitely was short, but I enjoyed it. I loved the POV voice of Fairy Cups, but I felt as if I were reading something that could have been fleshed out more, especially the ending which summed up decades of character plot in mere sentences. Nonetheless, it was very creative and intriguing. I love how Carriger makes tea so central to the story, and how she manages to make so many references to classical literature. Also, I liked that it was so different from any of her other works that I have read. If you enjoy her other texts, you should definitely check this one out: it's short and fun So sneak away for one hour or less and read this cute little story.
review 2: This short story (~5000 words) by Gail Carriger is ... morea fun, quick read. For those who are a fan of the Parasol Protectorate universe, this is a stand alone story and in a completely different universe. This book feels similar to something that you would find in the Enchanted Forest Chronicles universe (author: Patricia C Wrede). In other words, clever and sometimes snarky characters who live in a magical world.I was quite impressed with how well Carriger used her 5000 words. Carriger was able to balance plot movement with character and world development fairly well. The writing felt quite natural and flowed for the most part. As a reader, I was happy to take the ride. I didn't find myself looking to see how many pages I had left. I was content to let the book guide me down the path. Typically, with novelettes and novellas, I am constantly checking to see how much I have left, because I have found that this type of story wraps up in two sentences or the story ends on a cliffhanger (usually for an introduction to the next book in a series). With that said, even though I wasn't check how far into the story I was, Fairy Debt does wrap up a little faster than I would have liked. I wish that the story was just a smidgen longer to wrap up things a little bit cleaner. less
