I don't think I finished the winter one because so many of the stories didn't work for me. I'm not much of a short story person, but there are a couple of authors in here that I like and hope their stories are good.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583629247795470393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-61434737906040222482016-07-03T22:07:25.454-07:002016-07-03T22:07:25.454-07:00It was nice seeing North and Marigold again, defin...It was nice seeing North and Marigold again, definitely!

And I was, just like you, SO curious about Veronica Roth- like, is the story just Four doing something? I am glad to hear this is not the case :) <br /><br />I definitely want to read this. Okay, I definitely want to own the cover, let's call a spade a spade. But I also like that it's super easy to read anthologies, so there's another bonus!
