This is a beautifully arranged collection of short stories and a sister book to TO DIE OR NOT TO DIE. Each account follows the rules of a different place and time - and a different logic! The stories create a (ghostly) reality that will capture the readers attention very fast - without using scary elements as the typical decoy of supernatural narrations. The beautiful writing style and the accurate description of the characters is going to mesmerise the reader in a very unique way. Some people told me that the story "To Live or not to Live" (homonymous with the title of the book) is their favourite. I personally enjoyed "Theories of Retribution" and "Belief in the Possible" the most! They always manage to put me into a good mood, because reading them is very relaxing. I love what the character 'Dascale' in "Belief in the Possible" (a story set in Cyprus) says: "It's not the test that matters but whether or not you allow the burden of anxiety you shoulder to weigh more on your mind than on your shoulders, after all it's the mind that drives the body. If we allow the weight on our shoulders to govern our lives instead of searching in our minds for solutions, we are lost before we begin."
